Let’s face it. Publications are where it’s at. If you want your work to get more views, and more reads that is.

That’s why I think it’s important for new writers to get accepted to a few publications that cater to your niche or are open to all topics in general.

With that said, here are my top 5 recommendations for the best publications accepting new writers.

  1. https://medium.com/write-a-catalyst

Ran by one of the hottest new writers out there, Bin Jiang this pub is crushing it when it comes to views and new follower growth. At one week in it had almost 12,000 views. And he is publishing around every 5–25 minutes after you submit. You can’t beat that in my opinion.

2. https://medium.com/word-garden/write-for-us-word-garden-8b69afc86458

Another great one that is shattering Medium records, Word Garden is run by Carl Jeffers and has over 1.7k followers the last I checked. So follow this publication, fire off a request to be added as a writer, and then get to writing. Every story that I have published here has done very well.
