I’m a writing coach and editor-for-hire. For decades, I’ve worked with writers to improve and publish their prose. My current specialty is helping Medium members write better, more boost-able stories.
I often encourage my writers to submit stories they’ve published on Medium to markets off the platform, both to bring in some extra $$ and to expand their readership.
One problem with that? Some publications are happy to accept previously published work. Others shun it. So you need to do a little research before you submit.
