Saturday, April 11, 2015
9:00 am to 10:15 am

 

Serial literature, the staple of working writers like Charles Dickens, has been revived by advances in technology. Editors of e-publishing outfits discuss the revival of the serial, how it affects the reading experience, and what this emerging market means for writers. Discussion includes analyses of technological advances that make serial publishing feasible for a publisher, how/if writers are adapting style to fit the form, and how serials reach untraditional audiences.
