Where can I submit my writing for feedback and potential opportunities?
Hi everyone, I live in Kentucky and have a deep passion for writing. I write songs (especially in the country music space), blog, and enjoy storytelling on topics like self-help, sports, and life experiences. I’ve had a unique and interesting life, giving me a distinct perspective in my writing. However, I only have a high school diploma. I attended college but couldn’t finish due to medical reasons, and I don’t have the financial means to go back now. I’m in my 50s and wondering: - Where can I submit a few stories or songs to get constructive feedback? - Are there any opportunities for someone like me to be taken seriously as a writer, even without a degree or formal experience? - What platforms or resources might help me get my work noticed? I’d appreciate any advice on getting my foot in the door as a writer. Thanks in advance! *Note: This is an anonymous question submitted by a member of the CareerVillage community.

I live in the Philippines and doubt that it would get much attention here, but I think it could sell more in countries like the US or mainly-English-speaking countries in general. Should I self-publish? Look for an agent? Go to publishers? How do I market my stories?
