A New Publication Is (Almost) Born
I am pleased to introduce you to MicroBoosted. Please subscribe!
Edited on the 7th August 2023.
Hello readers, here’s inthewaves presenting you with her new mind-blowing idea for a Medium Publication, which she will launch in the next few days.
But first, let me introduce myself.
I am a relatively new writer and reader here on Medium. In fact, I landed on this platform at the end of June 2023. What I found is an impressively active and diverse community and a place where to talk about important topics in a lively and open way. It definitely felt like finding a home!
The freedom of publishing about anything on my mind, and to find an audience for every one of those opinions, sensations, and rants, has been very constructive and healing. I really had a great time writing and exchanging thoughts.
By the way, thanks to everyone who has been reading, commenting, and clapping at my pieces, or even suggesting me for a Boosting.
Anyway, back to the Publication idea.
The other thing I enjoyed immensely during this time was reading some of your interesting, heartfelt, and wonderfully-crafted articles. In the last weeks, I saved many of them in my personal list so that I could come back to them and reread them at a later time.
(My list is now very full.)
For this reason, I decided to start a Publication that will help distribute even further the best stories I stumble upon. Not too originally, I decided to call it MicroBoosted because it will represent a small extra boost to your own visibility and audience.
MicroBoosted will be a celebration of good writing, in the hope to see more and more of that on Medium over time. Also, it will help us Medium writers build a stronger sense of community.
But let me explain even more in detail how this will work.
At the beginning of each month, I will compile an article with links to three or four of my favorite pieces ̶w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶p̶u̶b̶l̶i̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ ̶d̶u̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶v̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶t̶h̶ that I have read during the previous month. I will also advertise some writers that I find particularly worth following (both established ones and promising beginners).
Pay attention: It is possible you may find yourself and your work featured in the next issue of my new Publication, or one of the later issues!!!
Therefore, I suggest you SUBSCRIBE already now, either to my profile (https://medium.com/@inthewaves) or to the Publication itself (you will find it here: https://medium.com/microboosted). In this way, I can tell you in advance and personally when this is about to happen, by sending you an email.
When the monthly piece is out, you will be able to read some nice words about your writing, as well as participate in the discussion that your article will hopefully have sparked in the community.
At the same time, you will discover other great writers and articles.
At the end of each issue, I will also highlight the piece (or pieces) that I myself enjoyed writing the most during the previous month. We all need a bit of self-promotion, too. :)
What do you think about my idea?
My main hope is that of offering a good service to the community and establishing a friendly relationship with all of you, my dear favorite Medium writers. Wouldn’t it be awesome if one day we were able to meet for a coffee in real life?
So, all of you… I think you’re doing a great job and I’m grateful to be able to read and share your stories!
Yours sincerely,
inthewaves
