Richard Herley's textfeed: e-serial in free emails

[Richard Herley]

I am planning to offer my writing in serial form, via free daily emails or an RSS feed, whichever you prefer, so you’ll be able to receive the text on any device capable of connecting to the internet: mobile phone, iPod Touch, or whatever. The delivery of a story in episodes is an old and honourable tradition, and adds a certain sense of occasion which is lacking from a straight reading of the text. You might find it fun!

The first novel to be serialized will be The Penal Colony, basis of the movie No Escape, with Ray Liotta.

Full details and subscription links are on my blog.

Richard, if you offer a full RSS feed, I can add your text to the "Serialized Novel" catalog entry on Stanza (iPhone). Kindle and Sony users can also use Feedbooks to turn such a RSS feed into something that works on their device.

Thank you, Hadrien. That would be great.

At FeedBurner I opted for the full wax -- though as you know to your cost, I'm no guru.

Yeah you need full-text feeds and as many items in the feed as possible. Reversing the order of the feed would be neat too, this way, people could read it in the correct order.

Just a note to say that serialization of The Penal Colony has just finished. Thanks to everyone who subscribed!
