An Endorsement From Zulie Rane
Thank you
Many of you know I joined Medium after watching YouTube videos by the famous and the queen of Medium, Zulie Rane; she inspired me like she has many thousands of writers.
Zulie has such a presence and a diplomatic way of both writing and speaking, many people, instantly like her. With a massive amount of credibility, having “been there and done that”, she has been the perfect mentor from afar.
Of course, Zulie has no idea who I am and probably never read a single article I have written; however, if you are reading this article Zulie Rane, please sample one of my many personal articles below.
Getting back to my point, tonight, I loaded YouTube and went to look if Zulie had posted any more videos; I do get excited when I see something new pop up from her.
I found a video called “The best Medium publications for beginners”, now since I have a publication for beginners, this made me sit upright and dream she would give me a shout out.
Tonight her video was just over eight minutes long and with thousands of publications; even though plenty caters for new Medium writers, I still pressed play with excitement.
I thought of publications that she may mention, and I was excited to know if Zulie would say a publication that I may know; I have gotten to know a few owners and decided to “big them up if they had a mention”.
Our motto is #Strongertogether, so I often give other publications shoutouts when they do well or offer some promotion.
I have linked Zulie’s YouTube post below, which I encourage you to watch and subscribe to her channel, but here it goes, 2 minutes 23 seconds into her video, Zulie mentions “New Writers Welcome.”
Shut the front door!
Wait! did Zulie Rane mention my publication, no way. I had to play that section back maybe five times before it sunk in.
I remember her saying publications such as “the startup”, “P.S. I Love You”, and “the Ascent” were significant publications to write for, so I feel honoured that she had even heard about our tiny contribution.
I feel very proud of what we have achieved as a community; “New Writers Welcome,” 8,551followers in just over six months.
A fantastic editorial team consisting of Sally Prag, Marilyn Glover, Francesca Dallaglio & Andrey Pilipets, we are building a solid foundation for many new writers to the Medium platform.
In the very unlikely event you do not know who Zulie Rane is, then please check out her profile below; you will be amazed at how well she has done, although many will not know the hours of work and research she put in into her writing.
Thank you, to our writers and followers, for your continued support; let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
