Next month at Inkwell, we will participate in a serial story blog tour featuring several CBA authors. Several years ago, the Inkies wrote a serial story, which you can re-read here. Until I looked into the history of serial stories, I didn't know Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe was "published over a 40-week period by National Era, an abolitionist periodical, starting with the Jissue." This type of fiction surged in popularity during the Victorian-era. Some of our most popular authors published in serial format: Charles Dickens, Henry James, Arthur Conan Doyle, Leo Tolstoy, Herman Melville, Tom Wolfe, Steven King, and Orson Scott Card. "In literature, a serial is a publishing format by which a single large work, most often a work of narrative fiction, is presented in contiguous (typically chronological) installments." ~ Wikipediaĭue to the cost of printing and the desire to expand readership, magazine and newspaper publishers in the 1700s began experimenting with serial stories.
