Design with Figma is a new publication that covers every aspect of the Figma design and development community. We’re focused on bringing you the best content to improve your Figma workflow, become a better designer and build amazing products. Below you’ll find a set of helpful guidelines and tips on how the publication process works.

How to publish your article with us

• When your article is ready for review, submit a draft via our submission form. Your article can be a Medium draft or an already published article on Medium.
• We will review all submissions and get back to you within 3 business days with a publish or pass decision.
• After being accepted and reviewed, your article is added to our publication queue. Once queued up, expect your article to be published in the next 1–3 business days.
• Once your article is published with us, we ask you to keep it in our publication for at least 6 months.
• Note: If you previously published with us, you can submit new articles directly via Medium (“Add to Publication” option on the top right corner while editing your article). No need to fill out the submission form, Medium will notify us.

Tips on submitting your work

• We only review Medium drafts or published Medium articles. We don’t accept articles in other formats (e.g., google docs).
• Please add a nice cover image that you have the rights to use or are Creative Commons. We recommend sites like Unsplash. Please give the photographer credit.
• Your Medium account should have your name, a bio and a picture of you.

What does the Design with Figma community loves to read and learn about?

Here’s some tips on topics our community would love to read about.

• Articles that add value to the Figma design and development community — genuine tips and opinions, tutorials, plugins and case studies on Figma, UX/UI Design, Product Design, Prototyping, Usability, Design Systems and any other topic that relates to designing and building digital products with Figma.
• Actionable advice for other designers on how to better master the non-design aspects of the job like leading teams, working with data, frameworks for decision making in product design process, developing emotional IQ, and improving designer productivity.

What will you edit before publishing my article?

• Typos, structural content changes and formatting style.
• We will remove any affiliate or promotional links not related to the article.
• We will add our newsletter form at the bottom of your article so more users can be notified when great content like yours is published.

What if my article is already part of another publication?

Medium only allows articles to be published to one publication at a time. If your article has been published with a different publication, it’s up to you to choose to remove it from the other publication and add it to Design with Figma. If you don’t want to switch publications, feel free to submit future articles to us.

Will my article be put behind Medium’s Paywall?

Medium recently added a paywall system that authors can join if they are interested in earning money from their content. This decision is made by you, the author, and we are not allowed to change your settings.

We look forward to reading your article! Thank you for choosing Design with Figma as the home for your work. 🎊

Cheers,

The Design with Figma team
