My First Week on Simily
Tales from a Fiction First Platform
I wrote last week that I was joining Simily because it offers a space that is dedicated to fiction.
The platform has evolved a bit and also accepts non-fiction work. I’ve read a number of writers from Medium who are republishing their Medium stories on Simily no matter the genre. That’s all well and good, but I want to tell the story of what it’s like to publish fiction on a platform that started for fiction and still claims to focus on fiction.
My first story has 14 views so far. At the Simily pay rate of 2 cents per view, that means I’ve made 28 cents in my first week. Not bad for a new, relatively small platform.
I’ve also found some other writers — many from Medium — and started following them. There’s a good variety of content there and some genuinely well-written fiction.
