Other than ebay and etsy, rubylane.com/ and artfire.com/ are best sites to sell handmade things.
You could try ioffer.com. They have free listing and take a commission only if your item sells. It has more that just handmade items and crafts but it might be worth a try.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
