Growing Together
A necessary refocus
It has been a little over two years since this publication has existed and it is time to take a moment to review and refocus on the theme of femininity, the eternal feminine and the Goddess.
We are going to build new foundations for this publication. We are so resilient, this new birth will see a new Queen’s Children.
We dare to proclaim our identity, we refocus, and we’ll have a dialog with every author to build a collective work.
The problem we have in Medium is that they put a tracking light on your last posts, leaving the others in an oblivion limbo.They are just consuming your production in a flow, always needing more. In our publication we are not only consuming insights, and now we will come back on some of our texts to put them into light. After this work is done, we will do a published work to publish them in volumes for books to put you into light.
We had more authors but I removed those that have not written for more than one year because perhaps they don’t want to receive prompts from us anymore. We are still open to welcome them so I added here, just for this newsletter, every writer who asked to be added since the beginning. This will be the only time, I’ll do it.
We will ask more sometimes, prompting more, but confident in our insights and feelings and dialogue to the authors about their posts, not to judge but to give a publisher’s opinion and initiate private talks.
Medium doesn’t do this work but we have to do it to grow together.
So we will review the texts that have been landmarks on our way since the first text of this publication. We will put the spotlight on some texts, not to understate that the others are bad, or uninteresting, but to show the direction we are taking. Yes it is a subjective one but every subjective facet of Medium is embodied in a publication, so every post has its place on Medium among so many publications. Being a publisher is a pure vocation, It does not give you anything more. The effect is that sometimes it gives a surge of interest to your personal articles but it demands so much work, dedication, time, communication, obsession…
Our theme is feminine power, so it includes, sacredness, intuition, creativity, ecology, sensibility, emotions, anger, and life stories.
I don’t want to publish mental lessons nor recipes nor listicles without personal involvement. To write, you need to become warriors and take risks. We may use them but above all we need to feel involved personally in our posts. Most posts fit into this description.
I am demanding of myself and so I want to be more demanding of authors, otherwise what’s the point of writing for a publication? Just write under your own banner. Writing for Queen’s Children should add a new facet to your writing and bend your style with a new shade of you, that maybe you did not know or that you didn’t dare to show. We don’t want to control you or interfere directly with your expression, that expression is you and it is you we are interested in. We are just interested in your involvement in your posts.
After this letter, the letters will change. We will choose.

I want to recommend several publications converging about a vision of the feminine :
