I write short stories and poetry. I've posted here on Lemmy a bit. I'd like to start publishing/ posting.

I'm afraid medium/ substack needs a lot of "publicity" and requires me to have social media accounts to promote it.

What other options are there? Any publications I can submit to? And are substack and medium any good?

Kind of. If I do go onto smth like substack, I don't necessarily need to make money off of it but the idea that I could is kind of cool enough.

Also I don't particularly feel ownership of my writing when I post on Lemmy. I love Lemmy and will continue posting here, infact I started [email protected] and post there too and will continue to do so.

Are you saying that you want to retain ownership of your content and see lots of people read it?

What is your goal, in the simplest possible words?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well I suppose that is what I'm looking for. Retain 'ownership' and find an audience of sorts.
