Cooper West ponderings

Change is in the air!

Mar 8, 2023 | PSA, Subscriptions, Writing Industry

It’s been a long time since I published anything under this brand, yet I’ve never given up on it. There are still so many stories I want to tell, including Rough Trade and a re-write of Accismus and more Guardsmen!!!! 

But on the other hand, I’ve felt stifled by the whole publishing thing. *waves hands around* While I’m capable of writing books that fit into the current publishing model, I’ve always longed for ways to tell more involved stories — longer, more complex, and featuring multilayered world building.

What to do? WHAT TO DOOOOOOO?

Well, apparently what to do is start serializing my stories on a brand new subscription platform, Ream! This is a really exciting development for authors and readers, and honestly I’ve been trying to figure out how to successfully create web novels for years. I know from writing fanfiction that I love working with the serialized format, and I kept looking at ways to apply that model to my own original fiction.

Yes, I looked at Patreon, and sites like Wattpad, Radish and RoyalRoad, but I’ve never been overly impressed with any of them. There were major drawbacks to each platform, and while I do know of authors who are successful on them, I kept looking for something better. Specifically, something better that I would not have to create and code myself!

I think it has finally appeared in Ream, and I will be launching my site there soon. It will be fully encompassing site for me, which means you can join to read just Cooper West stories OR you can also join to read stories under my MMF penname, KC York!

It’s a brand new era of authors and I’m super excited to be a part of it! I hope you are too!
