A Beginner’s Guide to Medium’s Poetry Publications

Find a home for your poems

Photo by Laura Chouette on Unsplash

I started with Medium a few months back. And the genre I love to publish in is Poetry. There are relatively fewer publications on Medium that look for poetry over articles. But there are some publications that I dug into these few months that offer an invitation to the poet.

As poetry mostly involves the use of fewer words than articles, its a bit tough to find its home. Here are some of the publications that can be potential ones for you. Let's begin the search.

The Junction

The Junction is home and destination for top-notch fiction and poetry. They also publish humor pieces, memoir, and the occasional essay. All types of poems and stories are accepted except Listicles, fan fiction, or work with overt racist or sexist overtones and Political hot takes. You can read more of their submission guidelines here:

To become a writer for the publication please fill out this form. Make sure you have a draft ready that would be required while filling it.

Share the Love

Share the Love is one of my favorite spots as it has extremely supportive editors that advise you on each story to make relevant changes that can increase the chances of curation.

Their aim is to share the love of poetry and fiction. All kinds of poetry are accepted as long as they meet the guidelines and they also accept flash fiction, micro fiction, and short stories. But they don’t accept non-fiction stories. If you have written a piece about something in the news, a political view, or a How-To article, it's not their fit. Their submission guidelines can be read here:

To become a new writer please respond to this post. Their editors will have a look and get in touch.

a few words

As the name itself states that the publication targets topics like Life Lessons, Mental Health, Motivation, Productivity, Relationships, Self-awareness, Self-improvement, Writing, but under 500 words. If you have write-ups and poems belonging to the above-mentioned tags, they are the perfect ones to pitch. But, have a look at their guidelines first:

If you want to join as a writer, leave a comment on the above post and explain why you want to write there in a few words. If they clap on your response you will be accepted as a writer. Chances are that you will make it.

Illumination is home to not just poetry but a lot of other articles as well. It makes a perfect balance between all of them. It is one of the largest publications that can also offer a good start to your writing growth. You can write about diverse topics.
