How to become a writer on Catalyst’s Medium
We’ve re-opened our Medium publication. If you’re working on a Catalyst supported project or anything else across the network we invite you to write about your work here.
You can write weeknotes or blogs. We welcome formal and informal thoughts, updates and reflections from your work. Be open. Share what you’re doing and learning. It benefits everyone when you do.
To get started we need to add you as a writer here.
How to get added as a writer on Catalyst’s Medium
- Sign up for a Medium.com account
- Email Joe or Christine your Medium username. They work for OWL — our open working team.
- Wait for an email confirming you have been added as a writer to Catalyst’s Medium
How to publish your first post
- Write your first Medium post. You can start this as soon as you have a Medium account.
- Add your post to Catalyst’s Medium. It will also appear on your own Medium page too.
- Joe, Christine or a member of the Catalyst comms team will publish your post.
What to write about
You could write simple and short weeknotes. Shortform content like this is welcome.
You could write a longer blog. That’s welcome too.
You could post something else. Youtube and other video platform links can be embedded into Medium posts.
Writing tips
Write in short sentences.
Break up your paragraphs. Use sub-headings (like we have done here). This helps people read your work.
Include pictures. Use gifs or quotes too, if you like.
You can use the Hemingway webapp to check your writing. We do this sometimes.
We welcome everyone
You might work for a charity, agency or in another role across the network. Your views and thoughts are welcome here.
We look forward to welcoming you as a writer :)
