Summary

SkillUp is a Medium publication focused on Education and Skill Development, inviting writers to contribute articles that adhere to specific content and formatting guidelines.

Abstract

The SkillUp publication on Medium is dedicated to the broad theme of Education and Skill Development. It emphasizes that education is a process of learning and acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and habits, rather than being confined to physical structures like schools. Writers interested in contributing to SkillUp are encouraged to follow Medium's curation guidelines, be creative with headlines and images, and ensure their articles are well-formatted and informative. The publication provides resources for writers to enhance their writing and formatting skills, and it outlines what types of content will be rejected, such as off-topic, poorly formatted, or uninformative articles. Prospective contributors are directed to fill out a form, after which they may be contacted by the SkillUp team, potentially with feedback on their submissions. SkillUp is supported by SkillUp Academy, a subsidiary of Forest Co.

Opinions

  • The publication values creative and engaging content, encouraging the use of enticing headlines and high-quality images beyond the first options available on platforms like Unsplash.
  • There is a strong emphasis on the importance of proper formatting, with a warning that articles lacking in this area will be rejected.
  • The publication prioritizes informative and interesting content, suggesting that boring or superficial articles will not be accepted.
  • The use of Grammarly is recommended to ensure the quality of writing submissions, indicating a preference for grammatically correct and well-written articles.
  • Feedback on submissions is not guaranteed, especially if the initial guidelines are not met, suggesting a selective editorial process.
  • The definition of "Education" is broadened to include online courses, books, and any process that facilitates learning, indicating an inclusive approach to educational content.

Write for SkillUp

Hey, thanks for checking this page out!

If you’re here, I’m assuming you’re at least mildly interested in writing for the SkillUp publication. It’s the only Medium publication that’s all about Education and Skill Development.

When I say Education with an “E”, I mean the following:

the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.

That’s what Education really is about. It’s not a building with walls, it’s a process. Though if you do write about schools, we still want to see it. Schools are a means to get an education, like online courses and books are.

So, if you write about Education, your stories might be a good fit for SkillUp!

Guidelines

  1. Always follow Medium’s own guidelines.
  2. Write enticing headlines and choose good images. As much as possible be more creative than just picking the first image you find on Unsplash. Feel free to use PixelBay and Pexels as alternatives.
  3. Format nicely. See our previous articles for good examples. We will reject articles where the formatting isn’t good.
  4. Read this for tons of info on how to make things nice.

What we reject

  1. Stories that are not about Education and Skill Development
  2. Poorly formatted stories
  3. Uninformative or boring content
  4. Stories that were definitely not checked through Grammarly

How to contribute

  1. Fill this form out
  2. We’ll contact you when we can
  3. We may or may not give feedback on rejections (mostly, if the above is not met, we will not give feedback)

The SkillUp publication is brought to you by SkillUp Academy, a Forest Co company.
