10 Life Lesson Active Publications on Medium to Apply to Be Published In
A curated list of 10 current life lessons publications that are still accepting writers. With useful stats about them and contact information for people looking to get published on Medium.com
The below post is a list of 10 current ‘life lessons’ publications on Medium, with different (hopefully useful!) stats and information about them. I’ve collected the number of subscribers, 5 associated tags to use, and the methods to apply to be published along with contact information.
I sorted through 41 different life lessons publications on Medium so that you don’t have to! This list is to help fellow noob writers out there on Medium that are interested in publishing in the broad topic of writing.
Some quick notes
- These aren’t the top 10 life lessons publications, I’ve curated them from the top 41 life lessons publications on Medium
- I’ve arranged the below from most to least amount of subscribers (in theory, the hardest to easiest to get published in)
- I’ve tried my best to curate ones that still accept writers
- I’ve excluded publications that have stopped publishing (many of the 41 I searched through)
- I’ve excluded Medium owned publications
- I’ve tried to exclude big existing magazines that I know of (ex. The Economist)
- Most publications require unpublished drafts
