Help out a struggling author?

Hey! So a few months ago I published my story. I just published episode 6, and I have only 28 reads. I know it could be a lot worse, but it just feels disappointing. I didn’t just jump into Episode and say “well, I’m gonna write a story”. No. I planned for months and got artists and reviewers. So I guess my point is, I have spent so many hours of my life on this story perfecting every angle and it doesn’t seem to be paying off.
If you’re interesting in just trying it out to help me, that would be much appreciated :slight_smile: I would be happy with feedback/advice etc. Feel free to drop your stories as well.

Story Title: The Huntsman’s Curse
Genre: Fantasy/adventure/romance

A couple tips for getting started on Episode

  1. Make sure that you’re on Instagram! There’s a huge community there and you can connect with other authors and readers.
  2. Try joining a contest. I know that doesn’t sound like it’ll directly help this story, but contests are a great way to get your story out there and connect with other community members. If someone enjoys your contest entry, they may also try your current story.
  3. Check out some group accounts. You may find one that’s hiring and you can join. You might also see the chance to have reviews posted.
