Investment fund Nova Growth Capital is investing in an online book platform that releases novels chapter by chapter.
Nova is investing £195,000 in Resurgence Novels, billed as an "episodical, online book platform that releases new chapters on a regular cadence."
Serialised novels were common in the 19th century, with authors including Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot and Charles Dickens publishing works in instalments. In the late 20th century authors including Stephen King and Tom Wolfe experimented with the format, while it is now finding a new life online as authors can share stories directly with readers online.
