Love writing but find it hard to finish projects? Looking for a new approach to telling stories? Embracing serialisation can help you be more productive and get more readers.
In this guide I share what I've learned while writing A Day of Faces, my serial which hit #7 in the science fiction chart here on Wattpad, won a 2016 Watty Award and has had over 146,000 reads.
My current Wattpad serial is The Mechanical Crown - come join the adventure!

First Love, The Sinner & The Saint
Have you ever felt like life wasn't enough, like you were going through the motions day in, day out, all you wanted was a change. Well one day I woke up and made that change, I was no longer the well behaved boy that did as he was told, I was a new person and I wanted to do things my way. I wanted to do what made me feel alive, even if that was murder of innocent people, I wanted to grab someone and watch the life drain out of their faces, it pleased me.. it made me feel alive. This is my story of heartbreak and turmoil, friends lost and friends gained, families torn apart by my needs. This is my life, and I'm proud to be the man I am. Dated created 9th August 2020 Date completed 15th August 2020 Word count 50,000-60,000Complete

What if your name didn't matter? What if no one knew who wrote what-only how it made them feel? What if it wasn't about being known, but about being unforgettable? What if, for once, you stopped asking, "Am I good enough?" ...and just entered the damn ring? Because this isn't your average writing contest. This is plot twists, pressure, passion. This is chaos in chapters. It's anonymous. It's brutal. It's electric. And no one is safe. Stories will crash. Some writers will rise. One will win. The rest? Let's just say... the pen cuts deep. So now what? You in? Or you watching from the sidelines... again?
