What is a good rate to release serial installments of a novel?

I don't think monthly installment is unreasonable. I think it best to release them on a set schedule so your readers can know when to expect the next installment.

Agreed. People get restless if they don't know exactly when a something is going to be released. They like to have a goal. Once a month isn't bad.

I'd try to do more than once a month, personally. Something like once every week or two, but not if the product will suffer. The most important thing, as has been said twice, is to be consistent. I think once a month is fine, but I would do everything in my power to not break that schedule.

Glad to help

I think a release every other month would be sufficient. :)

Yeah, I think every several months would be fine.
