Written on
Here’s a collection of 10 active writing publications on Medium, featuring various stats and details that may prove helpful. Included are subscriber counts, five relevant tags, publication categories, submission guidelines, and contact information.
I’ve sifted through 30 different writing publications on Medium so you don’t have to! This list aims to assist new writers interested in exploring the vast field of writing.
Quick Notes
- These aren’t necessarily the top 10 writing publications; they’ve been selected from the top 30.
- The publications below are arranged from those with the most to the least subscribers (theoretically, from the hardest to easiest to get published in).
- I’ve made an effort to ensure all listed publications still accept submissions.
- Publications that have ceased operations (e.g., Poets Unlimited) have been excluded.
- Medium-owned publications are not included.
- I’ve avoided well-known magazines (e.g., The Economist).
- Most publications prefer unpublished drafts.
