The Comprehensive Collection of Essential Medium Articles
Written on
If you've been following my work on Medium, you likely know that I am passionate about assisting fellow writers on the platform. Often, after I publish a comprehensive guide or a list, I receive inquiries from readers, which I’m more than happy to address. However, there's a good chance that I've already covered those topics in detail at some point.
I just never organized my insights into a single resource.
Now that I've compiled everything, I was surprised by the volume of content I've produced on these subjects!
My aim is that through this collection of publication lists, helpful Medium tips, and general blogging advice, this article will provide answers to most of your queries!
If you notice anything outdated or incorrect (I’m only human!), please feel free to inform me in the comments!
Let’s dive in.

# Medium Hacks and Tips:
After nearly a year of extensive use on the platform, I’ve come across numerous tips and tricks that aren’t commonly known.
How did I discover these? By immersing myself in everything related to the platform and experimenting. I enjoy exploring online platforms.
For instance, playing around with the “/” function in URLs can lead to fascinating discoveries.
Want to see the most popular articles a publication has ever posted? Just add “/archive” after the publication name in the URL.
There are plenty more intriguing tips and “hacks” (as the kids say) available in these articles.

# Lists of Medium Publications:
Some of my most popular pieces are extensive lists of publications. When I first started on Medium, I was unsure about what a ‘publication’ really was.
I thought it might resemble a traditional magazine or something like Wired. I spent considerable time figuring it out.
For those unfamiliar, a publication is essentially an online collection of articles, usually managed privately. Writers must apply to become contributors, and upon approval, they can submit articles for the publication’s consideration.
There are over 12,000 publications on Medium, though many are inactive now.
The vast majority are privately run, and some receive payments from Medium if they reach a certain size.
Additionally, there are a few Medium-owned publications that function as magazines.
One of my biggest challenges was determining where to place my diverse articles and stories, which led me to compile collections of publications.
Eight months later, here are many categorized publication lists for you! Enjoy!
(Note: Almost all these lists consist of publications that are currently accepting writers and remain active. Policies may change if they become overwhelmed, so some may no longer be accepting submissions. If you notice any discrepancies, please inform me in the comments! Thank you!)

I have one final article to highlight. It didn’t garner a lot of views, but I hope to change that over time.
Medium has a strong connection to Twitter, given that its founder, Ev Williams, was also a co-founder of Twitter.
I wanted to create a list for those of us with Twitter accounts to connect — and here it is!
