Write, I Must — And So Must You!
A new publication incorporating solid foundations and modern fun
I’ve been writing professionally for 30 years — back when guidelines were requested by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope and waiting a few weeks. To say the process of publishing has changed some would be a massive understatement. It’s been rebuilt to take advantage of current technologies.
Over the years, I’ve seen Medium writers come and go. I’ve watched publications grow from the ground up, and I’ve wondered how some ever survived. But one thing has never changed: the writing world is ever-growing. Advances in technology have made it super affordable and possible for all types of people to enter the game, even if only for themselves.
Write, I Must is a publication for all types of writers. The goal is not to replace Medium’s best writing pubs. Rather, it’s to embrace what we can learn from old-school writers, editors, and publishers, and mix it up with modern tech and lots of fun. Aside from actionable tips and compelling stories, Write, I Must will feature weekly challenges and writer spotlights. And while we’ll do our best to be nicey-nice about things, some of the challenges and voting sessions will be raw and public. Because who really learns from their moms reviewing their work?
