Reply To: Curious About Serials

[A Willing Pen]

My experience with serials is writers pitching the concept, getting the go ahead, developing it further, plotting , planning what not, and writing it about four weeks ahead of each chapter being printed (if you’re more than 4 weeks ahead, you’re amazing and your editors and production will bless you).

Serial writing is different than writing a book. Each chapter is a short story unto itself. A good serial is a study in tight writing.
