My entire novel is complete.

I uploaded my first 6 chapters first.
This weekend, I added the next batch.
I have two more "sections" that divide the story up nicely.

Is it better to just throw them all on at once?

I see you've uploaded ~35K. That's probably sufficient - most people only read the first chapter or so.

Maybe pop up a note on your profile saying members can ask to see more if they get to the end.

Always worth adding a line to the bottom of the pitch saying if it's complete and giving total word count rounded up to the nearest 1000 words.

Thx for the input.
I appreciate it.

For what it's worth, the 35k you have up I blew through in just a few hours, and I'd read more if you upload more. But NMott is right; hardly anyone here reads anything. For Autho, this is enough - and you can always offer more to those who ask. I'm just a weirdo who reads deeply, and I'm often too shy to ask for the rest.

I'd have got through it yesterday but I was reading something else first... I'm a fast reader.

I'll wait for it to be up for everyone. Emails are harder.

You keep busy reading until then,
I know you will

Well, I see people making the editors desk with only a few chapters. I don't understand, shouldn't you have a completed manuscript by the time you hit the desk?

Yay!

Now I have all the chapters uploaded and a little "Complete" next to my novel.
