You may want to check out Charles Dickens - yes, the famous British author from the 19th Century - he used to write and issue his novels in weekly (or monthly) instalments (ie as he wrote them, not writing the whole thing and then printing instalments)

yeah charles dickens is an example of a serial writer. Many of the writers from that time published their work via serial long before they were turned into novels.
However, it was also viewed as one of the problems with literature of the time.. as writers got paid by the word... as anyone who has ever has to sit thru Balzac can attest too
