Yesterday I mentioned Nathaniel Rich’s promotional gimmick for his novel.
If you want to read a sample of his writing, a five-part short story Rich wrote, called Trainchasers, is up at FiveChapters.com . It’s an interesting site. Here’s what they say about themselves:
FiveChapters.com is the home of the most exciting original fiction on the web. A five-part story will be published every week, serial-style, beginning on Monday and with a new installment every weekday. The editor of FiveChapters.com is David Daley. David curated the 20-Minute Fiction in issue 12 of McSweeney's, created the Tag-team Fiction series for The Journal News, and is the former features editor of Details magazine. To submit a story to FiveChapters.com, join the mailing list, or to inquire about advertising, email editor(at)fivechapters.com.
If you’re a short story writer yourself, you might want to submit a story of your own.
