Judy, I'll be covering in the next story. Let me tell you this until then, the big pubs aren't guarantees. Publishing in publications designed for engagement is becoming more important. For example, this publication Reciprocal asks you to shoutout other writers, so does Coffee Times.. Illumination has a strong Social Media presence. Cry Magazine has a newsletter.

These publications offer more. Just a random post in a big pub doesn't guarantee success. I'm glad you asked this question. Thank you. Keep writing, friend.
