Writerly Ways
Jun. 27th, 2021 05:46 pmThe trials of finding places to submit to. It used to be relatively easy to do this. It has gotten harder as more and more social media has cropped up. Some are only on twitter or facebook or instagram. It becomes a full time job to keep up.
With that in mind I have considered a subscription to Duotrope. It's 50$ for the year. It may be worth it. Of course it has all the genres so you still have to weed out to find yours. Others might say why bother? Self publish. There is more credence to that now than there has ever been. Why do I hesitate? I have had publishers behind me with their marketing and still failed miserably. Going it alone seems like it would be even harder.
There is still ralan but it has a lot of token or free markets you need to weed through. I'm okay with the token payments at this stage but not so much free.
I think what's getting me down right now is the relative loneliness. I'm separated from my writer friends. Yes I do the WED challenge which is nice but I'd like to see a group of writing friends exchanging at the end of the week this is what I wrote (a few lines at least) or hey I found this market... ah well.
At least I can share my links with you all
