That sounds like a good strategy Dave. The 10–14 days seems like a good cadence since it’s only 6 chapters. My book is nearly 40 chapters and I want to have it fully up by November. I’m actually going to time it so that the final chapters post near the elections.

For each of my chapters, I have links to the previous and next chapters. Since I’ve set up my book as its own publication, it’s always easy to get back to the beginning. But, if I were in your shoes where my book was part of some other pub, then yes, I think having a link back to chapter 1 is good.

Depending on how long the chapters are, you might want to start each chapter with a short summary of what’s happened to that point. People who have been following will know to scroll past, and newcomers can read the summary. It’s similar to what I did here:

Chap. 11: Ode to the Black Woman, Queen Mother of Civilization

In that summary, you could have links to chapter 1. That way 1) you’re giving newcomers some context and bearing, and 2) the link back to chapter 1 feels organic. Make sense?

Anyway, come back to this response thread and let me know when you start publishing it. I’d love to take a look.

Good luck.
