Writing Better Together
How can we help you improve your craft and write better stories on Medium?
Welcome to another edition of the Women in Technology newsletter!
This month, we’ll shout out to stories in three categories of April’s most submitted stories: Career Advice, Interview Prep, and Artificial Intelligence. This is just a small amount of all the great stories submitted to the Women in Technology publication this past month. To read our archive, click here.
Last month, we had many stories being boosted by the Medium Boost Program, and we are so happy to see the craft of our writers improve more and more every month. When you submit a story to Women in Technology, we work together to make your story show the best version of your craft, your stories, and the lessons you have gained throughout your years of experience in the industry.
Do you need help crafting your next story? E-mail us to womenintechpub@gmail.com, with your questions and where you need help in your articles. Our team will be extremely happy to provide you with guidance and suggestions.
Get ready for inspiring interviews, insightful articles, and practical tips to help you excel your career in technology!
