90+ Publications That Can Boost You
Woot woot — all aboard the train to Boostville
Welcome to my big ole badonkadonk list of publications with boost-nomination powers. That’s right, they’ve got boost junk in their trunk to help get your stories twerking.
Leveraging the pubs below, when you have ridonkadonk story, is one way to get boosted. There are also lone-wolf nominators out there, patrolling the streets of Gotham (Medium) looking for stories to boost. I know, because I also nominate self-published stories, and so do other nommers — and it happens every day.
The boost pubs however increase your odds — especially when you pick the right one for your story and topic. To help you out, I’ve sorted them below by topic. Since some cover multiple topics, you’ll see a few of them listed under multiple sections.
Topics: travel, poetry & fiction, humor, technology, women, social justice, books, memoir/personal essay, business/work, culture/arts/history/politics, health, spirituality/philosophy/religion, LGBTQ+, environment, and niche/multiple topics.
- You may want to bookmark/save this page for future reference.
I’ve also got some supercalifragilisticexpialidocious boost advice to help put more funk in your trunk and increase your odds.
Without further shenanigans and ado — here’s the list of pubs that can help you get your badoinkadoink boosted…
