On Substack, add your story in the comments using this format:
Tips for Posting
- Type in just your genre(s) and how long a read it is.
- Let the Image and the Story name do the work!
- The more you explain the story, the more likely they say “not for me!” and skip it.
- Add one story per Discovery Thread.
- Pick the story that you think is most likely to get a reader to read your other work.
- Keep it a shorter read if possible as people are far more likely to impulse read a 5 minute story than a 25 minute one.
After you put your story link in the comments, please Like and Restack the thread! This is how we tell the Substack algorithm to promote fiction.
We’ll be posting Discovery Threads for all major genres of fiction in the near future. Check back often!
