How do you get your voice out there as a writer? Not so long ago this question had a single simple answer. You needed to be published. Sounds easy, right? But it wasn\\u2019t. Submission guidelines, contest deadlines, and an endless mountain of rejection letters, if you were lucky enough to receive them, awaited you on your writing journey.

Now it\\u2019s simpler. Online writing platforms abound. Each one offers writers another way to get their work out into the world and in front of readers. Each one promises a new wonderland for dreamers to get out there and earn the money they deserve. With so many platforms available, it makes you wonder\\u2026why aren\\u2019t we happy?

This week on Confessions of a Working Writer we\\u2019re diving deep into the promises and realities of online writing platforms.
