Respect readers

Real Insight! Submission Requirements

Every story will give readers a value-added moment

Real Insight! will make sure no reader ever leaves without gaining real insight. Image designed by Maryan Pelland

If you’re reading this, it means you identify as a Medium writer, and that’s terrific! We welcome skilled writers, and that includes new writers who understand the craft. Here’s our vision:

Every story we publish absolutely must have a clear, visible, value-added takeaway for the reader. That will make us visible in the crowd. Write funny, write seriously, write good-quality lists. Do it your way, but at the end, the reader has to have found something that made the story worth reading. We’ll help you with this if we think you didn’t quite get it.

We like stories about writing and reading tips, this happened to me, living a better life, creativity, and food/healthy living.

Use one of these topics, please, so your story falls under one of our tabs: Writing, This Happened to Me, Self Improvement, Creativity, and Health. You can put the topic in any position.

Got something else you like to write about? Try us — we’re open-minded.

Long form or short, we’ll consider your work.

We aren’t looking for poetry or fiction — that’s just our preference. And if you know how to make a fortune online by doing something — please home that story elsewhere.

Rules:

  1. NO AI-generated stories, and we’re leary of AI-generated images. You can submit them, but we may reject them. All images must have a link to the source unless you took the picture.
  2. All writers must use at least a free version of a grammar checker before submitting to catch mechanical errors like typos, punctuation, spacing problems, misspellings, and so forth. We’ll send it back to you if you don’t use a checker.
  3. Title must be in title case. Check yours here: https://capitalizemytitle.com/style/AP/
  4. Use big T format for main title, small t for kickers and all subtitles and headings.
  5. Use alt text on every image.
  6. This is not the place to write stories that are simply self-promotions.

Three simple standards

We respect readers and the time they spend on Medium. Please write tight.

We respect writers, their voices, their style, and their stories.

If you are willing to spend time polishing your work before submitting it, we want you to join us.

Help if you need it:

Alt text — here’s exactly how it works.

Overusing the word THAT can make your story dull.

Using meta description can send your stories soaring.

Before you submit a story, give it some spit and polish.
