I'm writing an issue of my newsletter pottern.substack.com (still lives there, atm) on marketing short stories and I'd love to hear from short story publications & short fiction writers:
What, if any, marketing do you do for your stories? How do readers find them? What do you find moves the needle?
Between now and October (our 20th anniversary issue), we're running a subscription drive and dedicating all new revenue toward improving pay for our staff, writers, artists, and contractors. Details on how to subscribe can be found here:

Posting for the morning crowd! Would love to hear about how you get the word out about your stories, whether you're an author or a magazine editor. Feel free to drop thoughts in the comments or shoot me a DM!
Just a bit about my newsletter: it's completely free and I write about craft, industry, and marketing topics and resources for writers (and share what I'm up to). Also: tea recommendations.
It's been on a bit of hiatus this spring, but trying to line up some interesting topics this summer!
SO many incredible writers & magazines up for the @theignyteawards.bsky.social! These folks especially put so much effort into keeping the SFF community informed & providing safe spaces. Special shout out to @strangehorizons.bsky.social for taking a chance on my Peter Pan novelette about motherhood💜
HUGE congrats to @mariahaskins.com for her @theignyteawards.bsky.social nomination! She has graciously rec'd/rvwed TWO of my stories for which I am still deeply grateful.
