A few months ago, I began serializing my novel Songs of My Mother over on Royal Road. For the first week, I posted five chapters per day and then slowed down to one chapter per day.
I like the honesty of treating serialization as an experiment instead of a launch machine. I am doing a smaller solarpunk version here, trying to find readers one real exchange at a time: https://lvlinden.substack.com/p/start-here-the-cities-that-dream. The mismatch with platform categories feels very familiar.
I wonder if I could interest the comic shop I go to in Ikebukuro. They stock Comics! The Magazine every month… How many issues to Japan per month would make it economical?
That's a very good question! I'd have to do some research, but I think if we could ship at least 10 to a single location, it would amortize the shipping in a way that makes more sense. Alternatively, you could be our Japanese printer who distributes things locally, haha
Just did a quick check and if the price estimate I found is right...you'd be paying probably triple in shipping what we'd asking for the magazines. Which ain't ideal!
But if you convince a lot of people in Japan to subscribe, we could figure out an economical way to do it!

I mean you saaaay haha buuut…
I’m afraid to even ask about shipping to Japan, because of the costs involved. Otherwise I’d be all over this.
