Like the title says, want to share my writing and also promote books that me and my wife have written. Where good place to gain a wide audience?
Sample of something I just started doing:

Probably depends on what kind of books you’re writing. A lot of people who write web serials start at Royal Road for example.
My one published book is a sci fi novel. My wife writes fantasy, and non of it is web based. Except for the new thing I am trying out.
There’s an instance called literature.cafe that has a lot of writing related communities. I see writing prompts somewhat often while browsing all. It’s not the largest of instances, but it might be a good place to start
Probably !writing@beehaw.org ?
Thanks I will give it a try.
Just saw that there’s !writing@hexbear.net too, which has the largest number of subscribers. But Lemmy.world has that instance blocked, so you would need a different account to access it
Why do they have it blocked?
Hexbear has a reputation for being aggressively toxic, so a lot of the big instances have blocked them.
Because they’re tankies.
Wattpad, Smashwords, and AO3 come to mind for online writing/publishing platforms.
Wordpress makes it easy to publish without having to learn a lot of tech skills.
i can only vouch for Archiveofourown.org
