This is How to Write for Zenite
Zenite is a broad spectrum haven for your Medium stories
ZENite is all about living and enjoying LIFE to the zenith.
ZENite’s manifesto ubiquitously embraces LIFE and aspires to unify all sentient beings under the same mantra. We believe ZENite is the way to Unite!
Thus, our goal is to offer our readers a positive and wide range of stories from comprehensive fields of knowledge, diverse viewpoints, and mindful opinions.
ZENite aims to Unite! to be inclusive, comprehensive, and determined to empower both writers and readers.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self — Ernest Hemingway
This is a CTA to all aspiring ZENiters — the writers of ZEN
We are NOW open for publication! Hence, this is a call to all the amazing writers and aspiring ZENiters out there. We want to hear from you!
Please help us reach the level we aspire to and become a beacon for mindful enlightenment.
Never confuse movement with action. — Ernest Hemingway
Thus, please listen to Hemingway, and don’t merely scroll and read. If our mantra is graceful enough to touch your heart, please follow the publication and share your stories with all of us.
What makes a story reach ZENite
- The most valuable story for us always comes from the heart. Hence we are looking for real core experiences, more than hearsay, indirect or impersonal writing;
- We are always on the lookout for new trends and innovations. Thus, we value out-of-the-box contemplation and writing;
- If you have a significant new approach to a relevant topic, we would love to hear about it;
- Creativity is a golden rule for ZENite. Hence, we seek unique and inspirational stories;
- ZENiters “write without fear” and “edit without mercy.” We follow in Hemingway's footsteps as we aspire to become better writers.

How to submit your story
ZENite is everywhere on social media; thus, you can contact us, at any time, via our multiple media channels.
Please follow us:
However, the best way to directly send your story to our editors is via this form.
Please note that we mainly accept drafts (and the occasional pre-published, but a meaningful story, if it has a nice insight). Please only send one story at a time. If you have several new pieces, please drop us a quick note on the form, and we will look into it.
Then, our editors will carefully read your article. In case we accept it, you will be notified and added as a writer. From this moment on, you should only submit your stories via the Medium submission feature, not through the form.
Nonetheless, we treat each submission as if it was your first. Hence, all pieces and writers are treated equally to ensure that our readers can access the best content available. Focusing on the reader means that we cannot publish all the stories our writers deliver.
When a draft isn’t quite ready to be published, we will contact you via private note. Afterward, we reserve the right to do minimal fine-tuning to your story. We will only do it to increase readability and make sure the story abides by our standards and Medium rules.

What’s in the Future For ZENite?
We are just starting our journey here on Medium. At this moment, we will focus on building our human capital and invite our readers to contribute and become active ZENiters by sharing their stories with us.
We plan to grow systemically; hence, we will soon invite some of our more seasoned and proficient ZENiters to become editors and help our fellow writers with their stories.
“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”― Sylvia Plath
