Every Medium Owned Publication, Key Tags, Subscribers, and Categories
A simple outline of the 12 current Medium.com owned publications and useful stats about them for people looking to get published
**I’ve since updated this article on 17/8/2020 to include 3 additional Medium owned publications and the current subscriber numbers**
The below post is a list of the 12 current Medium owned publications, with different (hopefully useful!) stats and information about them. I’ve collected the category of writing, the number of subscribers, 5 associated tags to use, categories on the publication, and the email addresses to apply to published.
Some quick notes on Medium publications
- Some of them pay above and beyond what is earned by normal MPP views
- For the most part, they will only accept unpublished work
- It can be very hard to get into these publications due to the competition
- You can see the Medium owned publications on the main page of Medium, just under the ‘M’ logo (ignore ‘Self’ and ‘Tech’, they are just topics)
- I’ve sorted the below list by largest to smallest (and presumably, hardest to easiest to get published in)
- Human Parts
- OneZero
- elemental
- Forge
- GEN
- Modus
- Heated
- Marker
- Zora
- Level
- Medium Coronavirus Blog
- Momentum
