Navigating Serialized Fiction with Kim Boo York

The Author Wheel Podcast

Have you ever considered writing serialized fiction? What about releasing your novel chapter by chapter as you write it?
In this week's episode, author coach Kim Boo York joins us to talk about how she rediscovered her love of writing through fan-fiction, dealt with imposter syndrome and the internal critic telling her there wasn't an audience for her story, but ultimately found success with serialized fiction, particularly with the Ream platform.
(Spoiler: It's about striking a balance between creating suspense and maintaining a steady flow of content, much like the anticipation of a favorite TV show's new episode.) But it's not just about the craft; it's about the community. We delve into the strategies for building a devoted readership and the joy of sharing works-in-progress.
KimBoo York is a GenX elder-goth whose main life purpose is to provide a good life for her rescue mutt, Keely-Boo, who is perfect and beyond reproach in every way. She is also a librarian, former project manager, and a professional author who wears too many hats and crosses too many genres including romance, fantasy, and non-fiction. She is also the co-host of the popular podcast, Around the Writer's Table.
