 How can authors share their work before publication while building reader engagement and gathering useful feedback? In this presentation, Matty Dalrymple explains how authors can turn a completed manuscript into a paid prepublication serialization. She discusses structuring free and paid installments, setting prices and supporter benefits, managing feedback and reader expectations, and using the serialization process to strengthen the manuscript before publication
