FEEDBACK
Share Your Profile, We’ll Give You Feedback (Updated)
Friendly input from Creators Hub on your Medium profile
Update: Thank you so much for participating! As of 3:14 PM EST on 7/20/22, we have reached our capacity for today’s session. If Amy clapped on your response, we’re working on your feedback and you’ll see it soon.
Please keep an eye on Creators Hub for another chance to get feedback in the future. We encourage you to offer supportive feedback on each other’s profiles in the comments. And consider reading the feedback we share in the responses — we think you’ll find advice that’s relevant to you, too.
Do you have questions or doubts about your Medium profile? Wondering how to maximize your About page? Looking for guidance on writing better headlines? Curious as to whether your subject matter is resonating, or if you seem to have a clear brand or voice as a writer?
Today, we’d like to take a look at your profile and briefly respond with some editorial input. But first, tell us how we can help you.
If you would like some feedback, please add your Medium profile in the responses to this post, along with which one of these three things you’d like us to look at:
- About page and bio
- Headlines
- Your brand/niche
We’ll respond to as many as we can, and we will edit this post to let you know when we can’t accept any more submissions.
The “we” here is Harris Sockel and Amy Shearn. We work on Medium’s Creator Support team and are editors of this publication, Creators Hub. Harris is a seasoned writer of personal essays, a longtime editor of Medium’s beloved publication Human Parts, and the brains behind Medium’s popular Creator Workshops. Amy also works on Human Parts and Creator Workshops, has worked as an editor at many publications, has taught writing classes for many venues including Yale Writers’ Workshop, and is an essayist and novelist.
Last time we did something like this we had an overwhelming number of submissions — we can’t respond to everyone, but that’s where you come in. We encourage you to read the feedback we give others in the responses to this post, and also to offer supportive feedback on each other’s profiles in the comments.
We’ve compiled the most common advice we ended up giving in previous sessions here:
