First of all, an obligatory greeting to everyone on this forum: I've always wanted to explore more fantasy-focused communities as a lifelong fan myself.
I've been writing my own fantasy novel series over the past several years - I've completed the first 3 books (out of a planned 5) and I'm currently writing the 4th. The 1st book has been edited by a professional, while the others have only been proofread and re-drafted on my own so far. It's always been a dream of mine to be traditionally published, and while I've taken steps toward that goal, I've also recognized that a multi-volume series is a hard sell for most publishers, especially from a first-time author.
I'm wondering what recommendations people have for online publishing, especially as a web novel that I could update at my own pace (I have enough chapters ready to upload multiple times a week for at least a year!). I think this would be a great way to get more exposure in the community while also receiving valuable feedback. Aside from completing my series, there's still plenty more stories I want to write someday!
And of course I'd be happy to showcase my work for anyone who's looking for something new to read.
