Is serialization of your work a good idea? Is this something new in the publishing world?
Serial fiction is really nothing new. In the past, this was popular mostly in the form of comics. Stephen King’s The Green Mile was a serialized work of fiction. I think you get the idea.
Currently, there is a new series that is starting to gain in popularity called, Yesterday’s Gone. On Amazon, this ebook series, as of today, ranks 44th for Horror fiction. Since New York Times recently started to include ebooks in their Best Sellers list, it may not be too long before Yesterday’s Gone finds its way there.
While you’re still pondering on my questions above, go ahead and read this guest post by one of the authors of the series, David Wright.
What are your thoughts on serialized fiction? Would this be something you would try?

I just finished writing a novel and it started out as one novel, but it blossomed into a series of four books. I like when authors write a book series because I also want to know more. I found your site via She Writes.
I love series as well. I always hate it when a novel ends because I usually want more!
