1001 stories is a serious body of work, respect!

sharing a few thoughts:

- substack is probably the easiest starting point, no algorithm to fight, readers subscribe directly, and short fiction actually does well there if you're consistent. you own the list. - literary agents are mostly for novels, short story collections are a hard sell unless you already have publishing credits. better to build an audience first and use that as leverage. - if you are aiming for larger audience on social, go to tiktok/instagram if you're willing to read them out loud, even lo-fi works. people underestimate how well short fiction does as audio. x/twitter if your stories are punchy enough to tease in a thread.

:D Thanks so much / really appreciate it. I’ve video’d like 30 short stories on and off but usually just testing out different social medias and I don’t really know the “PMF” for someone doing 5-10 minute short stories.

Think I will definitely start with substack. Was thinking maybe Patreon but I’m not huge on social medias in general so seeking to find where to go — super appreciate it <333
