CcmmuterLit is thinking about offering a paid subscription service, with a new chapter of a novella appearing in your inbox once a week — say on a Saturday morning. The stories would be a maximum of 25,000 words; and we would pay the writers. Now before you start sending us your unpublished novellas, this would only work if we can find at minimum 25 people willing to pay an annual subscription of say CAD$39.49 each for a series of two or more original novellas serialized over the course of the year.
So is this a good idea? Please take this six-question survey and let us know. It will take all of two minutes to complete.
