Revivify Story Submission Rules and Guidelines
How to submit your stories and become a writer for us
Welcome to Revivify! I’ve been working on ideas to create a publication for a while now, and it’s finally coming together. First, I want to give a quick insight into our mission and purpose.
The dictionary defines Revivify as “give new life to.” Revivify is dedicated to mental health awareness and inspirational/motivational content to give its readers a sense of new life. We’re very passionate about this purpose and using the Medium platform to distribute such content to impact people's lives.
Have a personal story about overcoming the odds? Self-improvement, guides, and tutorials, and reaching your dreams and goals and how you got there? GREAT! We’d love to hear it. We’re looking for writers with a passion for storytelling and bringing awareness to mental health, and inspiring others through their writing.
We want stories that will reach out and grab the audience and provide value through well-written pieces. So, without further ado, here are the submission rules and guidelines.
- If you’d like to be added as a writer to Revivify, respond to this story with “I’d like to be added as a writer.” Please leave your Medium @ ID as well.
- We do not accept published stories; please send us your unpublished drafts. To submit your story, email me your draft link to: revivifymedium@gmail.com
- Proofread your article for any spelling and punctuation errors. Grammarly has a great, free tool and a premium feature to help you with spelling and punctuation. In addition, they have a browser extension that works with the Medium editor.
- Please format your stories as Title/Subtitle/Image, as the following example displays. Also, please capitalize your titles correctly. Here’s another great website to use to help you correctly capitalize your story titles. One of the first things a reader sees is the title and subtitle. If not capitalized or formatted correctly, your story will be rejected.
5. Although we accept various stories, articles that do not follow the Medium Rules will not be accepted. Also, no ads, self-promotion, or affiliate links as well. Listed below are general topics and ideas we are looking for.
- Guides and tutorials, personal stories, finance, business, self-improvement, and health and fitness. Anything positive and uplifting that will provide value to our readers is what we’re looking for.
- Our focus is to spark change and support positivity around mental health and use writing to impact others to better their lives and themselves. Use your creativity to bring new ideas, opinions, and insights to give readers a direct takeaway.
6. Listed below are topics that we do not accept.
- Sex, politics, poetry, tech, and clickbait. No stories about Medium as well. We want to build trust within our readers and leave them feeling like they took away something of value from the articles.
- Absolutely NO plagiarism. We will remove suspected plagiarised pieces. Each article requires a lot of thought and work; authors deserve to be rewarded for their efforts and quality content.
7. To piggyback off the sentence above, quality over quantity. We’re looking for well-written articles. Therefore, we’ll only accept one article per author a day. We’ll leave a note on the stories that we feel aren’t quite right for us. If you haven't received a note and your story hasn't yet been published, we haven’t gotten to yours yet.
Once again, welcome to Revivify. We’re incredibly excited about this publication and our intended purpose. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at the email listed above. We’ll do our best to provide feedback on any questions and concerns you have.
Note: Why a turtle for our publication logo, you may ask? What’s not to love about turtles? Turtles represent longevity, persistence, and the continuation of life against all odds. We feel that those values reflect on our mission and intent at Revivify. Hooray turtles.
