Thank you for this - I am giving myself until the end of this year to keep querying agents before I serialize my novel here, and am gathering any and all information on doing this in the likely event that will be my route.

Great to hear from others serialising fiction on Substack - thanks Hanna, Ella and Bridget for sharing your experience and Erica for bringing this to us. I’m a serial fiction writer and haven’t met anyone else who’s doing it! So interesting and insightful to hear how others do it 😍

Interesting, I like these roundtables. But this was hard to listen to - your audio was much too high. And you left yourself out of the round of intros.

Great to listen to! Hannah's accent sounds great!

I'm actually American, but I put on that accent to make sure people are listening.

Wow! You could have fooled me! It sounds exactly like Dick Van Dike in Merry Poppins!

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious

Great discussion. Really inspiring group of people.

I'm always blown away when I hear about people writing serials week to week. I tried that when I first started on Substack and it didn't go very well.

You touched on this briefly, but I wouldn't loved to hear more about the pre-planning/preparation work you all do before you start.

My five year old, watching this way past her bedtime: "I love that lady." She was pointing to Bridget Riley 😄 Bridget has a new fan out of this!

Awww! It was probably the baby that did it. 😊
