Since this is History Girls, <br />let me add that the first English version of the 1001 Nights <br />came out as a serial in London newspapers.<br /><br />I love the idea of serializing novels. <br />I've considered serializing my novel, <br />1001: The Qaraq, since like the Nights, <br />it contains a new (past life) tale every chapter. <br /> I've thought of doing it on my site qaraqbooks.com, <br />but there's also Kindle Serials, <br />if you're considering it as an ebook series.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738095985051916631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-25702857777495793572014-07-06T16:29:12.434+01:002014-07-06T16:29:12.434+01:00Sue, it should be free everywhere by now!

I know a writer who got a five book contract and the publishers actually kept their commitment, even though the books weren't selling well, but that was a long time ago. Another friend of mine wrote a novel and was commissioned to do a sequel, but the publisher then told him the first one wasn't selling well enough, so they didn't want the sequel. So he has a whole book he can 't do much with.<br /><br />Your free download doesn't seem to be happening, BTW; the Amazon website says it isn't available yet.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
