Serialise Your Novel
A Retreat West workshop
Hi Everyone,
I’ll be running my Serialise Your Novel workshop again March 22nd 7pm - 8pm GMT.
If you’re thinking of joining this Substack cohort, the writers streaming their work in regular instalments, this is the workshop for you. Not only will you become a member of a literary tradition stretching back to the 17th century, but you’ll be part of a club that is fast making serialisation something of a thing on this platform - so much so that mainstream editors broadly view it as it was originally intended; a market test for work.
Whether you’re trying out material or building an audience, dusting off a much loved manuscript or writing fresh, whatever your aim and ambition, if you want help and support bringing your work to the page join me on March 22nd.
I'm already doing this, so I'm hoping I'll learn how to improve my serialisation of 'The Wrong Man'!
I'm also 14 months into my serial here on Substack...and I can say it's been so rewarding for me. The pace of writing 2000-4000 words per week versus approaching a massive manuscript has been fantastic. Now, I won't say I have a huge following (yet), but mostly because I don't think Substack really cares much about the fiction writers on the platform and give most of their attention to the non-fiction work, but that said, I'm ignoring the metrics (mostly) and getting a huge kick out of the work myself. That is what I'm hanging on to most...that I'm enjoying the writing/creating maybe more than anyone else.
