‘The Shortform’ Is Open To New Writers

Surprise! I’m a new editor, will answer your emails and add you as a writer

The biggest difference between Medium and any other blogging platform is its publications.

Finding the right publication is key.

Only a few new writers realize how a publication can be a game-changer for their writing journey.

Do you want to know the biggest secret to success on Medium?

  • Don’t go for the big publications first. Start small!
  • Don’t try to write (boring) 3 minute reads. Write short form content!

On Medium there are 4 proven publications that welcome new writers and accept short form pieces.

‘The Shortform’ by Tom Fenske is one of them.

One of 4 popular pubs

A few days ago, I wrote an article about the 4 pubs and how to contribute.

Here is the trending article if you want to check it out:

This time, I’m thrilled to announce that the owner and editor-in-chief asked me to join his team and become a co-editor.

As a working mom, I’m pretty busy. Only when I put my baby to bed in the evening I do have time to write until my eyes droop.

Nevertheless, since it’s my favorite pub, I will answer your submissions from now on. But please be patient with me. 😉

I will get to you as soon as I can.

What does this mean for you?

A few weeks ago ‘The Shortform’ gained a giant milestone.

1k+ followers!

If you are a new writer and want to be part of an inspiring and engaging community of short form writers, here’s what to do:

  • Just send me an email to [email protected] with your Medium handle. I’ll add you as a writer.
  • It’s not mandatory, but we greatly appreciate it if you add a link to a drafted short form of yours (150 words; source citations and link text doesn’t count) so I can get an idea of your writing style.

It’s easy, isn't it?

Here are our guidelines:

Final Takeaways

Dear new writers, don’t try to reach a certain text length corresponding to a standard that isn’t a standard.

Don’t try to reach for the big pubs, get rejected, and be frustrated, instead start small and feel inspired.

Practice the concept of short form writing.

For instance, in a 30-Day-Writing Challenge in November? Edina Abena Jackson makes a 400 Short Form Pieces Writing Challenge this month!

Moreover, Top Writer Zulie Rane invites all content creators to publish 30 pieces of content in November.

Well, with short form posts it’s pretty easy to reach your goals.

I’m looking forward to getting your submission in my inbox soon!

As new writer Drashti Shroff, editor of ‘Coffee Times’ says:

…some new writers, including myself, get lost in the Medium space — in the sense that we are not already aware about which publications to follow, which pubs to join as writer and most importantly which pubs exist!

What are you waiting for?
