Eat Your Serial Get your daily serving of _______ stories.
Our mission is simple. We are a passionate group that is working to connect writers and readers through an innovative new online experience. We aim to promote writers by showcasing their work as serials. What does that mean? Well, serials are nothing new. This storytelling format has been around for generations. The regular publication of pieces of story kept audiences hooked and compelled to return for the
next installment. Serial formats have served as the launching pad for a number of classic writers. With TV showcasing countless serials like ‘LOST’ over the course of many years, serialized storytelling is a tried and true method of entertainment for mass audiences to this day. And that's where we come in... We're bringing serialized content to the Internet on a scale that has not been attempted to date...

…But, What IS Eat Your Serial?!
“Eat Your” Definition: As in don’t waste it,
other people are starving. ***
People consume more content now
than ever before. Blogs, Twitter, online magazines, favorite websites, Facebook - these are what people are spending their time reading.
Eat Your Serial believes there is already a built in audience for manageable, easily digested serials of new and well written stories, and we have built the platform for it. Did we mention the stories will be
available for FREE?
From Charles Dickens to comic books, serials have a long and proud tradition of engaging and entertaining audiences. People love ongoing narratives with clever twists and jaw-dropping cliffhangers that compel you to come back next week for the next installment.
“Serial” Definition: Installments delivered
in separate & regular intervals. ***
EYS is looking to promote new
writers and creative talent from all genres, and get them out to the widest audience possible. All writers retain the rights to their work after they're done working with us.
• Every day of the five-day work-week will feature a different serialized story by a different author.
• Every week on that same day the
story gets an updated chapter, and this will continue every week until the serial is complete.
• When the serials are finished,
readers will have a chance to buy their favorites or catch up on the ones they missed.
Eat Your Serial is more than just a (spectacularly awesome) pun. We’re working hard to create a dynamic, new community to
find and promote unheard voices, in perfectly sized servings.
