Hey, writing is hard enough — add in chronic illness, brain fog, fatigue and sometimes it’s a what-the-fuck-burger. As in: WTF did I write yesterday? Is it even English?

We’ll keep it short.

General submission guidelines

In general, simply follow good writing and editing practices. Here are two helpful links that you might bookmark:

Basic AP Style Guidelines — Good guidance for those irritating questions like: Do I spell out percent or use %?

Medium’s Quality Guidelines for Boosted Stories — One of our editors is a boost nominator! This link tells you what the Medium humans are looking for in a nomination.

What to Avoid When Submitting

• No listicles.
• No pictorial submissions please — a photo at the top and one or two additional in the body are fine.
• No offensive content (duh).
