Series

Writing that arrives in parts, in the order you choose.

All guides

What it's for

Some things do not fit in one post: an argument built over several pieces, a course, a long essay, a story. A series holds them in order so a reader can start at the beginning, while each part still gets its own conversation.

How it works

Create the series, then add posts to it: new ones as you write them, or ones you have already published. You set the order, and you can change it whenever you like. Readers see the arc; each part keeps its own replies.

A series in order
  • You set the order, and you can change it later.
  • Each part keeps its own replies.

You don't have to finish first

Publish part one today and part four next month. People who follow the series hear about each new part as it lands, which is a better reason to publish early than to sit on a finished draft.

Where it shows up

A series has its own page listing every part in order, and each post links back to it, so someone who arrives at part three can find part one.

Common questions

What is a series?

A series ties several posts together in the order you choose, so a longer piece of writing or a course holds together as one arc while each part still gets its own conversation.

Do I have to finish a series before publishing it?

No. Publish parts as you write them and add each one to the series. Readers who follow you get every new part as it goes live, and you can rearrange the order whenever you want.

Can I reorder the parts later?

Yes. The order is yours to change at any time, and readers always see the current one.

Can a post be in a series and a group at the same time?

Yes. A series sets the reading order; a group decides who it lands in front of. A post can do both at once.
