This is very cool. I love the idea that in the age of AI we are returning to the serialized novel. It worked for Dostoevsky, Eliot, and Dickens, so why not now? I went to the website and all I see is the link to the digital subscription. How would we subscribe in print?
Reading this interview with interest. I've written a YA time travel adventure series, Edge of Yesterday (edgeofyesterdaybooks.com) which is now in its fifth and final adventure in the series. Indie publishers, so promotion and distribution has been limited. Has always had elements that are very cinematic and I've created a pitch, story bible, pilot screenplay, the works.
I spoke to a literary agent last year: he suggested I turn it into a graphic novel instead. Romantasy, since that's what's hot these days, especially to my readers (with no guarantee he'd pick it up). I pointed out that, by the time I got that done, they would have moved on to "the next big thing." I don't want to chase ghosts (which is a whole 'nother genre, after all!)
Not to sound too forward, but I wonder what advice you, or Ben might offer?
Immediately thought of The Green Mile when I saw this headline, so learning more about it makes tremendous sense. I'm very interested in this sort of experimental thing at the moment, although I know myself, and I will almost certainly read it digitally rather than as an actual newspaper. Sounds like a lot of fun!
This is real creativity that rings true to me as a former publisher, editor and reporter for magazines and newspapers who is now working on a closed historical fiction series. I take exception with one comment Mr. Percy made because as we all know, words have meaning. "Journalism" is NOT under attack. Biased" journalism" is and should be for obvious reasons. It's at the heart of dis, mis, and mal-information and belongs nowhere except under the opinion or op-ed header. I look forward to reading this inspiring work of creativity.

It looks like the print subscription has sold out I'm afraid. It had a limited run
That's amazing!
An author willing to experiment with format, genre and theme. I like those ones.
This was encouraging to me, the idea of an author writing in unique formats across a bunch of different mediums. It's something I'd like to do!
Uh, $15 to get a subscription to a cool piece of experimental fiction? Count me in!

WOW! This is an excellent idea. Can't waitto see how it develops and how it becomes a book.
So enlightening. Needs to be read by budding writers and in schools. Will share this with friends who are educators.
