Submit Your Story
We can’t wait to hear your stories and experiences
We’d love to hear your stories. If you’d like to submit directly to our publication, follow the steps below.
What we are looking for
Stories on career experiences, learnings, or any other aspect good enough to ignite some inspiration and provide directions to our readers. Here are few ideas; however, feel free to experiment.
- Job Experience and Learnings
- Journey from University to Professional Life
- Interview Experiences
- Changing Majors and Between the Lines
- Anything related to Academics
- “How-Tos” and “Tips” on a variety of career-related subjects.
Topics you care deeply about make the best posts, and we encourage you to highlight your own perspective — whether that comes from real-world experience, original research, or reporting in the field.
Some guidelines we’d like you to follow
Introduce yourself
- Let readers know who you are and where you work currently. You can add links to your socials at the end of the article so that our readers can connect with you.
Add a Relevant Image
- Medium posts with one or more quality images relevant to the content perform better both on Medium and when shared on other networks.
- Double-check to make sure you’re not violating copyright or licensing with your images. Free resources like Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash are great for sourcing Creative Commons-licensed images.
Finishing touches matter
- Use an appropriate title and subtitle to best reflect your idea and to help promote it in post listings on and off the platform. We strongly recommend scanning for typos before publishing and sharing.
Keep the conversation going.
- If you receive responses to your post, engage with your readers by responding to them and applauding them for their responses, where appropriate. (You can also hide or report responses you feel are inappropriate or violate rules.)
