The Serialization of Novels

Serialization of novels refers to publishing a story in multiple parts over time, rather than as a complete book. This approach allows readers to enjoy a story in installments, encouraging anticipation and discussion between releases. It originated in the 19th century, with authors like Charles Dickens first sharing their works in magazines. Serialization can enhance storytelling, allowing for character development and plot twists based on reader feedback. Today, some authors still use this format, especially online, to reach audiences and build engagement before releasing the full book.
