Four Medium Writers To Follow Immediately
Showcasing four of my favorite writers on Medium for their encouragement, influence, and inspiration.
As a newer writer to Medium, I’ve had to learn by trial and error which writers have quality content to offer. We’ve all seen the sensationalized articles about becoming a millionaire overnight, and I’m trying my best to avoid those. However, I’ve also found there are also awesome writers and very generous people out there who want to see you succeed.
See below for four of my favorite Medium writers, show them claps and love, and follow them on Twitter. There’s always something for us to learn.
You won’t regret it!
Burk
Amongst the ranks of Madonna, Prince, and Cher, this writer not only goes by one name, but he has a ton of quality advice for his fellow writers. Burk offers straightforward, thorough advice on being successful but unique through your writing. He is incredibly generous with his advice and always engages in the comments on his stories. It is easy to get lost in the sea of articles about writing on Medium, but I’ve always found Burk’s articles to add actual value to my writing tool box. Below is a recent article of his that I just love, and you can find him on Twitter here.
Veronica Sully
My very first Medium buddy, Veronica, is an experienced writer who pushes boundaries and societal norms with her articles. Veronica Sully has something for everyone and is a writer I respect immensely. Her stories create a space for safe debate, expression of sexual freedom, and tips on self-love. Here’s one of her recent articles about accepting our bodies and you can find her on Twitter here.
Dr. Mehmet Yildiz
The founder of a top publication on Medium, Illumination, Dr. Yildiz is not only a prolific writer, but he is also an advocate and promoter of writers at all levels. He has built a mammoth collection of integrated publications, along with a team of amazing editors, Dr. Yildiz has created a home for almost any writer. I’ve published everything from personal essays to poetry in Illumination and the guidance and exposure has been top-notch. Being a new writer on Medium can be intimidating, but publications like Illumination and writers like Dr.Yildiz stand as proof that we can succeed at writing online. Dr Mehmet Yildiz recently published an incredibly useful resource covering Metabolic Syndrome for those suffering from metabolic syndromes and disorders. You can find Dr.Yildiz on Twitter here.
Moony Thinker
Someone I consider to be a Medium friend of mine is Moony Thinker. Not only will Moony’s name stick in your head, but his poetry will too. One of the things I also love about Moony is his priority to promote other writers and creatives. He hosts digital open mic nights, and provides feedback which is so very important to writers. Let’s show Moony Thinker some love in return! Below is a recent poem of his that tugged at my heart strings when not many things can. You can find him on Twitter here.
