A LOT of GN publishers have this royalties-after-expenses model, and boy oh boy do they rack up the expenses.

Nothing will cure you of a fear of the paranormal like a house full of cats. Hear a strange creak from a distant room? Must be the cats. Find a book fallen off the shelf onto the floor? Must be the cats. See an ominous trail of blood that spells out the words "Get Out"? Must be the cats.

ATTENTION SERIAL WRITERS: I am looking to do a marketing group chat or a Zoom call for serial writers because I know a lot of us have been scrambling after Kindle Vella and Radish shutting down. And I just want a chat or a Zoom call in which we come together and discuss marketing for serials.
