I love to write short stories (mostly horror and sci-fi) and I was wondering if there are good platforms to sell them or publish. I have googled and found links to magazines and blogs which are way complicated for a normie author like me.
Medium is the most used platform for that.
You can publish your stories there and not to be afraid that they are going to be censored as this is going to be your own blog. You just have to apply for their partners' program and be accepted.
You're right we need to join different websites to write our own stories and pay for them However, a good platform for writing stories is articles or blogs. These sites are great for writing stories or you can collect various information by searching on Google.
