Intro:

Serial publishing is growing.

It’s an old way of writing. Charle’s Dickens wrote this way.

300,030 million online serial readers in China.

Author’s Guild has free lawyers if you want to get legal advice on contracts with Substack/Vella etc.

Substack Management:

• Substack sends chapters/pages by email or to the Substack app. The the entire archive lives on Substack.
• Everything belongs to the writer.
• The writer controls the financial charges/reader emails, and copyright.
• Substack takes 10% of profits from paid readers.
• You can link to previous posts with every chapter, so it is recommended to link to the beginning and then update links to the next chapters.
• Substack is a space where you don’t just do one thing. This is for long term growth.
• Readers are subscribing to your consciousness
• Substack forms a community because readers engage directly with other readers and authors.
• Dracula Daily — Someone serialized the Dracula novel and they do it every year. And it has 220,000 subs.
• You could have a book club.
• More of a non-fiction audience but there is also fiction.
• You can see followers/and who they read. So there is a Network effect.
