About The Prospectives
Series 4 // Paul Tuller
The Prospectives is an Instagram serial that began in summer 2014. Three series have been published, with a fourth—a podcast—on the way in late 2017. Every story focuses largely on characters in the queer community, and all series have some root in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
Each season of The Prospectives adopts a new format, plot, and characters. Follow @theprospectives on Instagram to read along, and for announcements on Series 4: The Prospectives Podcast (to be illustrated by Paul Tuller).
