For this edition of our newsletter, we’re thrilled to share some significant updates and details about the future of Engage.

Our revamped motto

A Community-Centric Publication Putting You in the Spotlight.

Engage currently runs under Alchemy Publication’s umbrella on Medium.

This year marked an evolution on Medium, and Engage has to go with the flow and adapt to the revamped platform’s heartbeat.

reflects our commitment to spotlighting your authentic, unique, and relatable stories.

We are more than just a publication; we are a thriving community designed to encourage meaningful engagement between writers and readers on Medium, and that can only be attained by publishing high-quality stories written by humans for humans, according to the latest Medium guidelines.

Our mission statement 2.0

At Engage, we focus on audience development, engagement outreach, and community team building.

Our mission is simple.

Your story is our priority. You are in the spotlight!

Our niche is you and your stories.

That’s where Engage steps in.
