one more serial note

Max Berry has taken serial publishing one step further. With his book Machine Man, the author is not only doing the serial thing, he is doing one page at a time and releasing that into the wild. It seems to be working for him. He just had a publisher buy the rights to it, apparently based on the success of his by the page experiment.

fun example of serial publishing

Stumbled across an interesting article about serial publishing, which is the route I'm choosing to take with my book. The article in the link talks about author Jeff Kinney and the serial efforts he made with his book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Looks like a great summertime kid read and it certainly reads like a great DIY author's story as well.
