Hi. I'm a writer thinking about publishing a novel here on Tapas, and I had some questions.
What is the preferred length of chapters (in pages or word count)? My chapters vary in length, but the shortest are around 4000 words. What about length of completed work? Because my story is crazy long, but can be divided into shorter segments.
How often should new chapters be posted? Especially given the length mentioned above?
How many genres can a novel be placed into? My novel is sci-fi, but with strong fantasy elements. Ideally, I'd like it in both genres. Comedy too, if I'm allowed more than two.
Are there any exclusivity requirements?
Is there any way to post new chapters in advance, before the chapters show up for readers? I'm bad about remembering to post, and this would help me stay on schedule.
Anyway, thanks for any feedback. I appreciate it.
