See what others are saying about Forging Fiction
During my time on Substack, I’ve been pretty unsure about its viability as a platform for publishing fiction. But being featured on Forging Fiction’s May Newsletter blast has not only given a noticeable boost to my work, but to just about everyone else who was featured. Substack has a lot of potential as a platform for fiction, and it’s through initiatives like this that the potential will be realized.
Niccolò Hilgendorf’s Forging Fiction significantly helped boost my serial novel, The Glaciermen, in terms of visibility for new readers, including subscribers—and in turn I’ve discovered other writers to add to my own reading list. I can’t wait for the next blast to do my part in boosting the other worthy fiction authors out there!

Great to see this. My weekly list of writers on here is certainly incomplete, and it's good to have some spot to send people. You and Thaddeus Thomas are doing so much more in that area. Fabulous!
Some of us on here don't post serial novels. How do we participate in this? I, for example, have 2 books published and a 3rd in progress. Can you help get the word out on them?
This is exactly what I was looking for to find fiction on Substack.
