What We’ll Cover

The live session breakdown

Addictive Chapter Flow▾
Cliffhangers, micro-tensions, and chapter hooks engineered for return. Every word serves the come-back. No fluff, no slow chapters — serial readers will close the app and never return.
Mobile-First Writing Style▾
Adapt narrative, paragraph structure and dialogue for the way mobile readers actually consume. Lunch hour, bus commute, five minutes at end of day. Fits in the moment or it doesn’t get read.
Contract Red Flags & Predatory Platforms▾
Some serial platforms have brutally predatory contracts. Buyer beware. Coral walks through the red flags in the small print, the platforms with the worst rights grabs, and which contracts are still safe to sign — including the platforms she still publishes on.
Building a Binge-Worthy Series▾
How to plan, outline, and structure a serial that runs 100,000 words across 100 chapters and 800 installments. Soap opera mechanics, plot twist pacing, season finale moves — the dopamine return loop done right.

From the Live Workshop

In Coral’s Own Words

“Some of the serial fiction platforms do have highly predatory contracts, so please be careful when signing up. Look at their contracts and look at their exclusivity terms — we will get into them as we go through the slides tonight.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching

“This is one of the writing things I actually enjoy. Serial fiction is long form, it runs on for ages, it’s like a soap opera — and you can build a ferocious audience around it.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching
