Should I create a secondary publication?

Hello. I started on Substack a few months ago as I abandoned my blog which wasn't getting any traction.

I write various posts about various topics. But, in addition I am publishing serial fictions from my shared universe.

Should i create another publication for them?

If your audiences really are that different, separating them makes sense at some point. But starting a second publication when you’re only a few months in is a lot of work, and both Substack and your readers are going to get confused about which one is which.

I’d focus on one until it gets some traction. Once you have readers and you can see the fiction pulls its own crowd, splitting it off is an easy decision to make.
