This is a wonderfully gratifying development and I'm glad to see more fiction writers opting to serialize their work on Substack. I've had such tremendous feedback from my two serialized novels here and definitely agree with Luke that the immediacy is powerful and not unlike performing live in front of an audience. Here's hoping more fiction readers discover the pleasure of the weekly dopamine drip!
Speaking of serialized novels, let's not forget The Split by Ellis Weiner and me, which we're serializing under the illustrious Wonkette banner. It's a dystopian satire set in the near future after...wait! Why am I telling you the whole story? Have a look for yourself--and subscribe for free.

Not to be flippant... but could Villanelle target fictional Nazis profiting off Substack? Because that'd be so marvelously meta and such a hilarious start to addressing this problematic policy. Just a thought.
Love the fact that Substack can offer a new creative territory for great stories, and a seconde / parallel life to some great creative productions.

A shame you weren't included in their list, Ben. You really should be.
Outstanding for author and platform. I’m watching the success of this one this closely.
I love hearing stories like this. Really demonstrates that indie publishing is thriving in more ways than one.
I can’t wait to see what this does for serialization on Substack!
I recall his quote, “Obsession is not immediate. It stalks you. It creeps up on you until it’s too late to escape it.”
I suppose it could also describe substack. 😅
Great to see fiction getting some love with this post. There's many of us out there, hiding out in the fiction corner here 😄
OK dumb question- I just read part I of Resurrection- is Oxana Villanelle?
she was in the original series.
Siiiiii! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 riportala in vita! Lei salvera' il mondo!
🥰🤣🥰
So exciting!
This is such an exciting trend; one I hope to follow with my own book in the near future.
Thanks for the shoutout, Luke!
