Pssst! Hey Writer! Want Some Read?
The Pub’s first draft
I had chicken with peas for dinner. Needless say, I’m pumped. Without further ado, let’s start.
Backstory for reading time
We’ve all been there.
We wrote a deep and heart-wrenching story inspired by a secret childhood memory, and nobody read it.
It’s not because it was some uninteresting crap that has been written ten thousand times already by writers ten thousand times better than us.
It’s because the Algo was mean.
BUT worry no more! We have the solution.
It’s called The Pub.
What’s new at The Pub?
1. Who are The Pioneers?
2. Economics
3. Deleted
4. Moved to the next newsletter
5. Awards and numbers
6. Tag COMPETITION
7. Tag WallWho are The Pioneers?
Upon request of Kristen Stark, the following Medium writers are henceforth members of The Pioneers.
Congratulations to: Kristen, Evon, Scott, and Carlos.
If you want to create a club within The Pub too, and compete with The Pioneers for the coolest club name of all time, the process is quite simple.
Do like Stark and ask in the comments.
Economics
The submission guidelines article already got 321 views and made $8.11.
We’re hoping it will reach new heights with this newsletter as it is the only way we found to reward our editors for their “work.”
You could also buy them a Guinness, although we don’t recommend it as drunk editors are not too reliable.
Awards and numbers
Big Clap Award for the article with the MOST INTERNAL VIEWS
As it should be, the most-read article of the month was the submission guidelines. Thank you, all. However, thanks to spaghetti magic, Uvebruce managed to get 200+ people to click on his title.
Well done, Uve. You win the Big Clap Award for this month.

Sorry, no article of the month in this category as we didn’t have readers.
