Content Quality Focus
Our current writers know that we strive for excellence. We aim to increase the quality of your stories and provide an enjoyable reading experience to our followers. Quality is an iterative process. I notice that the quality of our stories is increasing day by day.
New writers: please ensure that you check your stories for typos, spelling, and grammar errors before submitting them to the publication.
We have some volunteering editors who can perform a proof-reading for the writers from the non-English speaking background. You can search for volunteers from our Slack channel. One of the proof-reading tools our writers recommend is Grammarly.
To speed up publishing your stories, one quick quality improvement is citing your photos. It is mandated by Medium as a policy. Please read this article written by our editor Timothy Key
