Still have questions? Here’s a few we get often…
Q: What’s a serial? Is it delicious?
A: Serialized storytelling is a classic method of delivering continuous installments of an overall story. Every week, a new chapter is delivered that continues an ongoing narrative. And yes, they’re delicious.

Q: Is it free to read?
A: All content is indeed free to read on our site.
_____
Q: I’m a writer. Is it free for me to have my work published on Eat Your Serial?
A: Yes! It is 100% free to post your story on our website. Writers will sign an agreement that says if any subscriptions or completed stories are sold during their terms of agreement, profits will be divided between Eat Your Serial and the writer. However, if you sell nothing, you owe nothing. But baby, your story is going to sell like hotcakes. (What is a hotcake?) And, at the end of your involvement with Eat Your Serial (not that we want you to go), you retain the rights to your work and can do with it as you please.

A: Yes. The site will be promoted through comprehensive online and viral marketing campaigns, word of mouth, social media, and the networking and connections made as time goes on.
