Write For Us! — Admiring Multipotentiality
Every person has their gifts. Let’s share, learn, and grow together. We celebrate one another’s uniqueness.
Welcome to the Admiring Multipotentiality publication. I’m Erica L Soerensen and am thrilled to announce that we’re now accepting new writers.
I created this publication because I wanted to share my gift of editing and organizing with the Medium community. It has always been a dream of mine to have a publication, so I’m excited about this opportunity.
Please be sure to read carefully, so you don’t miss any pertinent information.
What Is This Publication All About?
Multipotentiality is a term that explores the many different skills and interests people have. A multipotentialite enjoys multiple creative pursuits. No one human is the same. I want to embrace this fact! Feel free to share your stories, thoughts, articles, poems, or anything that speaks to you.
In addition, I offer a space for inclusion and positivity.
Therefore, although I want to open this publication to multiple topics, there will be no hateful or cruel behavior. It will not be accepted if anything is deemed inappropriate or deliberately hurtful to others. This includes the writings themselves, as well as comments. While we celebrate differences, there is no need to hurt or anger anyone. Respect one another’s differences!
Who Am I Looking For
- Premium Medium members only: It doesn’t matter if it is the standard $5/month or FOM $15/month version.
This is my ‘WHY’:
- I feel strongly that to be fully invested in Medium, one should pay for one of the memberships. While I am an advocate for the Friends of Medium membership, as long as you are either premium member, you are welcome to join this publication.
- Non-members do not financially support hardworking writers on Medium. Monetary success may not be important to all, but I feel like people who invest in this community are showing support. They are invested in a way non-members simply cannot be.
- I invite all to read the stories and articles but as far as being a writer for this publication, you must have an active Medium membership.
Participation Guidelines
This is not a set of rules. I named them “guidelines” because they’re not mandatory. At least not all of them (see below). I’m committing to follow them by the T, and I hope you find a reason to consider them too.
In a nutshell:
Grow Together as a Medium Community (Recommended):
- Read stories from this publication if you find them interesting.
- Highlight, save, clap, and/or comment if you liked the story you read. You’ll help a fellow member rank better on Medium. Remember to read for at least 30 seconds and then clap (if you choose). If you clap first, it can count against the writer.
- Follow a fellow member every time you enjoy their writing. Following and continuing to read stories will benefit them! Plus, you’ve met a new author who writes in a way that speaks to you. Now, you have another person to read from. Tip: Try to follow from inside the article, this significantly boosts earnings :)
- Tag the stories you submit with AdmiringMultipotentiality. I know it’s a lot, but it will help the publication grow! This benefits everyone. When you are about to publish, add this topic:
Keep in mind that you can add any other topics you would like. This is optional. I will not require it.
Please review the new Medium measures against spam and fraud while engaging. This pub is NOT a reading club! And I’m NOT aiming for an organized reciprocal engagement community! You have free will to read and engage with whomever you wish.
That’s it! Let’s create something meaningful. Let’s build a community where we support each other’s growth: in followers, engagement, and earnings!
Your Benefits from Joining
- You get to be one of the first members of this publication. That sounds like bragging rights to me!
- I am an active member and will be on top of this publication. You should not have to wait long for your story/article to be published.
- I will offer regular updates and encouragement. I also plan on giving prompt ideas and contests periodically to keep the momentum high.
- Each week, I will post an “Editorial Selection” article. I will highlight weekly picks with tags and recommendations. This, of course, should help with more exposure and more reads. I will begin this the second week of July.
You’re just one step away from joining this publication.
How To Apply
Simple, just follow these steps:
- Follow the publication and the owner (me 😃). This makes it easier for me to reach out and help grow the publication.
- Leave a comment below on this post, saying you want to be added. Please also add your thoughts about the publication guidelines and your favorite type of article/story to write on Medium. This will show me you have read this fully.
- When I clap to your comment, you will know that you’re added as a writer.
This publication is open to every Medium premium member, even if you are a complete beginner, an established writer, or just writing. So if you are questioning whether this is the right place for you, it is!
For those unsure how to follow the publication, here is an easy way:
Requirements And Submission Guidelines
- Length — no limits. Just make sure it’s readable.
- Structure — no limits. Just make sure it’s digestible.
- Quality — make sure you follow Medium’s Quality Guidelines. I will reject every story that’s not in line with these guidelines. I will do everything I can to get this publication approved to become a Boost Nominator. I will keep you updated on the progress!
- Topic — no limits, you can write whatever you like, fiction or non-fiction. There will be separate tabs with genres/topics. However, I will strictly follow the Medium rules and guidelines, so be aware of these.
- No drafts — no drafts required. You can publish and then submit. If you feel more comfortable submitting drafts, I will accept them as well.
- Fresh — I will only accept newly written stories. Please refrain from submitting stories older than 24 hours. Besides, a story already published will not get listed among the new stories on the pub, because Medium considers the original publishing date, so your story will not get any visibility at all. In other words: we’re wasting each other’s time.
- Volume — I know you sometimes want to submit more, but I’m the only editor right now, so please bear with me and submit one at a time.
- Use of AI — as per Medium guidelines, make it high quality and make sure you label it. I will use gptzero to verify that your submission is not created by AI. None of us want to get banned from Medium. I will not risk getting dropped from this beautiful community by publishing articles created through AI. So, please, follow the new Medium rules about AI: even with disclosure, AI stories cannot be monetized and set behind the paywall. NOTE: Stories about AI are accepted if they’re written by you. Stories written by AI regardless of the topic are not accepted.
- Grammar — Please install Grammarly, it’s free. And it’s for your own sake of writing. Don’t alienate your (and my) readers!
- Promotions / CTA — no limitations, but don’t overdo it.
- Affiliate links — as many as you like, as long as you indicate them as per Medium guidelines.
- Tags — You may use as many tags as you’d like in your stories.
- Images — as per Medium Guidelines, make sure you add the proper reference.
Publishing Time
I’ll strive to get through as many posts as possible each day to publish them ASAP. I will review your submissions daily.
