1. Style Guide

Instructions before you submit.

What to avoid

  • Already-published stories to any publication: we accept unpublished drafts only.
  • Stock photography: instead of using cheap stock images, try giving your story some love by picking a beautiful, free picture from websites like Unsplash, Pexels, Burst, The Stocks.
  • Aggressive call-to-actions throughout and at the bottom of your story.
  • Heavy self-promotion: talking about your business is OK but don’t let it turn your audience off.

What we prioritize

  • Stories behind Medium’s paywall: We know how hard to find a publication to accept your person story about things that is not a hot trend and how hard to write something to earn a little money. As part of our efforts to help as many writers as possible, we will prioritize publishing stories behind the paywall over free stories. to study more about program, you can click here.
  • New/Old stories
    We prefer to publish the new stories at the beginning of a day. And not publish it on Sunday because that day have less view than another day. If you want to publish on Sunday, you can add private note when submit draft to us.
    We still accept old stories, just don’t be too old like stories since 2018 or 2019.
