One of the many issues with Kindle Vella is the absence of any sort of built in marketing. As a result, many authors who are trying out this new platform (which you can read about here) have to be as creative as possible so their work is seen and appreciated.
With that in mind, we've collected a few great Kindle Vella authors who are currently serializing their work on the platform. Check out their work below and leave a "like/thumbs up" on their episode! You can also press that little "Follow" button to be notified of when new episodes are released.
Take a look! Remember, the first 3 episodes are always free!
