Hello, Penny Pub Writers!
Remember, we are now an official boost nomination pub. If you’re interested in being eligible for a nomination, read the latest boost update here. The 5 story components the Curators consider are as follows: the writer’s lived experience, the value and impact to the reader, respect for the reader, non-derivative stories, and the craftsmanship of the writing. Roughly 1% of all stories on Medium get boosted, so send us your best work.
If you’re a new writer, please pay close attention to the guideline reminders below. Our pub’s homepage now has a thorough formatting guide (with screenshots) to help you.
Please be aware that we rarely edit during evening hours and are much slower to pick up submissions over the weekend, especially on Sundays when I take a break from editing.
For those who submit responses on the final Sunday, be aware that your story may not be edited or published until Monday morning. Thank you in advance for your patience.
