You can click here to go to the Substack Fiction Picks Collective section list of posts if you prefer to do the whole infinite scroll down thing, which looks like this ⬇️

I’m always surprised by how few people seem to know how many serial stories there are on this platform, so I’m excited to spread awareness about all of these great authors. This was my biggest frustration while writing my Sci-Fi Comedy Series “The Intergalactizen’s Guide to Taming Earthlings” – that so many people didn’t seem to know Substack could be a fun publishing option all on its own.

This index includes:

First up…

Have you ever found a fiction series on Substack where the writer only did one or two installments and then abandoned it? (I have. The struggle to finish and write consistently is REAL.)

Well, this thread solves that problem for you because here are loads of active writers with new works in Substack:

Fiction series picks I loved in April 2025:

1. Snowmen Are Murder by Ann Audree

Snowmen are Murder - Part #1

I love this one because it’s just so much fun to read. Who ever thought a snowman looked dangerous? If you like humor with your mystery, then this story series is absolutely one to read by

Tell Me a Mystery

.

2. Fallen From Stars: The Fencing Master by Parrish Baker (writing as Urna Semper)

Fallen From Stars - THE FENCING MASTER (Part 1)

Click on the link above to check out this intriguing fantasy series by

Parrish Baker

. What I love most about this one is the pacing. It moves fluidly from one moment to the next with just hints of backstory about landing in an unfamiliar place and learning to fight. It felt like elements of sci-fi and fantasy blend well here.

3. Tales from the Triverse by Simon K. Jones

Prologue: Two Hundred Years Earlier

Anyone who’s been on Substack for a while has likely seen

Simon K Jones

😁 This series was one of the very first that I stumbled across, and it’s also one of the best organized in terms of his table of contents setup and graphics. The thing that grabs me about this story series is how interwoven the three worlds are with all these little details that connect in surprising ways. It’s an excellent read for people who like their fantasy detailed with lots of complex world building.

Previous Substack series I’ve read so far that I ❤️

(updated monthly)

• The Weight of Bone and Feather by Hannah Stone (Middle Grade Fantasy / Drama)

• “The FateBinder Chronicles” by Misty Evans (Urban Fantasy)

• Dracula Daily (a digital redistribution of Bram Stoker’s original novel)

Books I’m reading now:

**Note: I do write book reviews» Go here to see all the Substack book reviews organized by genre.

But now I only write reviews on Substack if it’s an outstanding book. Otherwise I tend to leave shorter notes about the books on my GoodReads pages.

You can ask me to review your book on my Substack! My current book review policy is here, and it will eventually change, most likely. 😊
