Ever feel like an inexperienced newcomer — a newbie — to some activity?

That’s how I felt when I joined Medium two months ago. It felt like I’d fallen into a parallel universe with all these articles on all these subjects and this secret world of publications I didn’t know existed before I found Medium.

It felt like someone tossed me a football helmet and pads without telling me how to play the sport, and I had to somehow figure it out all by myself.

Yes, I feel for you newbies just joining the platform, but the truth is veteran writers are still always searching for the right publications for their work, and it is tough asking to be added as a writer to publications and nothing happens.

So I am sharing six growing publications I can vouch for from my experience (based on quick response time by editors) for new and old writers:

New Writers Welcome

Robert Ralph says, “If you want to become a writer for New Writers Welcome, I have made it easy for you to do this. Follow our publication, then reply with “I want to be a writer for New Writers Welcome” and you’ll be added.
