Day One to Day Seven Stats for Our New Pub, Brammarly
What you can expect from a new pub in its first week
I started my pub, Brammarly, entirely because I was frustrated with missed “i” capitalizations and commas a mile after the word, like this , in drafts I read.
In a week, I’ve realized how editing distracts from my purpose on Medium of writing my own stories. All I’ve managed this week is writing meta stories, and not very many of them at that.
Editors do not get paid. They work for the love of making your good draft great.
Editors also miss out on engaging with other writers because they’re so busy reading drafts, for which the writer will not come back and read them, because many writers’ interests don’t align with what their editors write. I don’t subscribe to this notion. I 3X read back my editors and am a better writer for it.
I didn’t demand that the writers follow the pub. I haven’t registered on Twitter or Instagram, though I’m thinking about it.
Apart from boasting about my new pub to a family WhatsApp group where about two people are Medium readers, I did nothing special to promote the pub.
