The Opportunity Ahead
You could be among the countless other authors who have taken advantage of serial fiction.
While publishing services like Kindle Vella, Wattpad, and Radish may be relatively new, serial fiction itself has a long-established history.
For over a hundred years, authors like Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie, and Truman Capote have found success releasing their stories as serials.
Popular novels like:
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
The Martian by Andy Weir
and many more
…were first released as serials in newspapers or blogs before they were bound in book form.
Today you have the opportunity to join the ranks of successful serial writers and publish your writing on services like Amazon’s Kindle Vella.
Will you take advantage of that opportunity?
If so, join me in this course so we can launch your first episode of serial fiction out into the world!
