General Questions About Medium Publications

Quick Answers to Questions About Medium Publications

How many publications can each Medium user create?

You can create a maximum of 7 publications per account. There is no limit to the number of roles you can hold as an editor or writer in Medium publications.

Is there a way to send letters from my personal Medium account?

No, there is not. Letters are a feature exclusive to publications.

Are my personal profile followers added to my publications?

No, your personal profile followers are separate from your profile followers.

Is there a way to invite my profile followers to a new publication I have created?

There is no easy or direct way to do this. That is why I suggest that writers create a publication sooner rather than later. While you cannot invite them through Medium directly, you can make posts about your new publication, and some will likely see this and follow it as a result. If you have established an email list, this also would be a good way to notify your followers of a new publication.

How can I get a custom domain name for my Medium publication?

As of November 2017, Medium is no longer offering new custom domains as a feature. Instead, you can create a publication on Medium that will live on a medium.com/publication-name URL. The publications that have this feature were created before November 2017 and are currently grandfathered in as an exception.

What are the roles that writers can play in Medium publications?

There are three roles: owner, editor, or writer. Each publication is owned by a single user account — the publication’s owner. The owner account has full rights to manage the publication and can add other users as publication editors and writers. Editors can review, edit and publish stories submitted by writers, as well as add their own stories and modify the publication’s layout. Editors basically have the same access as the publication owner, but they are unable to delete the publication. Writers are regular contributors who can submit their stories to the publication. These users have been added by an editor or owner, manually, and once approved, can submit drafts to a publication. This does not mean that there work is auto-approved. An editor or owner must make the final publishing decision.

How many owners can there be for a single publication?

Currently, only one user account can be linked as the owner of a publication.

Can I remove my article from a publication?

Yes, authors can always remove their post from a publication. The same post can then be added to another publication.

Can I post my article in more than one publication at the same time?

No, you cannot. Posts can only be hosted in one location, meaning only one publication. Medium does not allow duplicate content, so that is not an option, either.
