How to Share a Ghost Article on ManyStories and Reach More Readers
Promote your Ghost stories to new readers using ManyStories.
Ghost is one of the best publishing platforms for independent writers and creators. It gives you complete control over your content, branding, and audience — but reaching new readers beyond your subscriber list can still be tough.
That’s where ManyStories.com comes in. ManyStories helps writers promote their stories — no matter where they’re published — to a large, discovery-driven audience of readers. Whether your Ghost site is self-hosted or on Ghost(Pro), sharing your story takes less than a minute.
Step 1: Make sure your Ghost article is ready to share
Before sharing, take a moment to polish your article:
Add a featured image. It’s the first thing readers see in previews on both Ghost and ManyStories.
Fill in your SEO title and description. Ghost’s built-in metadata settings help ManyStories pull the right preview content.
Confirm your post is public. If it’s behind a paywall, new readers may not be able to access it.
These small steps make your story look professional and increase engagement once it appears on ManyStories.com.
Step 2: Click “Share your story” on ManyStories
Head to ManyStories.com/share or click “Share your story” from the top navigation bar on any page.
Step 3: Enter your Ghost article link
Paste the full URL of your article — for example:
https://yourpublication.ghost.io/your-article-title/
Make sure your story is published publicly and not still in draft mode or behind a membership wall. ManyStories can only fetch and validate articles that are accessible to the public web. If your post is private or unpublished, it won’t be visible to readers or pass validation.
Step 4: Confirm authorship
You’ll be asked: “Are you the author?”
Select Yes if the story is yours (this helps with verification and attribution), or No if you’re sharing someone else’s work.
Then click Share.
Step 5: Wait for automatic validation
Once you share, your story appears on your profile immediately but goes through a brief validation process before being distributed across ManyStories’ feeds and the broader Penname network of websites, such as TopMediumPublications.com and GenHeadlines.com.
Validation ensures the story is:
Written in English (or clearly readable)
Not spam or promotional content
Hosted on a legitimate publication (such as Ghost, Medium, or WordPress)
This usually takes one to two minutes. As long as your article isn’t spam or a storefront, it will pass validation and appear for readers across ManyStories.com.
While you wait for validation, you can add relevant tags to help readers discover your article.
Step 6: Add tags and reshare
After validation, you can:
Reshare your ManyStories link on social media — it includes an optimized preview and social-ready metadata.
Engage with readers who collect or comment on your story.
Each Ghost post you share builds your presence on ManyStories and connects your work with an audience that’s actively looking for new stories.
Why this works

By sharing your Ghost stories on ManyStories, you expand beyond your existing readers and make your work discoverable by thousands of curious, engaged readers — without changing how or where you publish.
