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?

So I assume you’re asking where to publish your writing to start earning money with it?

Because to “start writing” like answering the question in your title, you just need a pen and some paper or a keyboard and computer or anything similar and start putting words in them.

And it also seems like you’re already publishing it. Something is missing from your question.

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 !ocpoetry@literature.cafe 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?

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