Is Simily Really Awful?
A tale of six months on the platform
I’ve been chronicling my writing journey on Simily for just over six months now.
I’ve written about my early excitement in finding a platform for creative writing — a place I could publish my fiction and possibly earn some money.
Well, I’ve earned a very small amount of money there. I’ve definitely encountered some very solid writing. But I’ve also experienced frustration.
I then read a tale of a writer who put up a few stories, didn’t enjoy the experience, and described Simily as “awful.”
I wouldn’t describe it as awful.
I will say I’ve read stories from very good writers who are planning to leave the platform as soon as they reach the magic payout number of $10.
Despite the review saying the platform is bad and the exodus of some writers, Simily continues to add members each week…
