What’s next? Where to publish your work and how?
5 - Preparing for publication
Medium
Pitch your article to Medium pubblications or publish it yourself.
Substack
Simply open an account and start writing. I opened a “niche” newsletter called Better Writers and post my writing there once a week.
Where: Personal blog/website
Build a website using Wordpress (or Wix).
Social media (e.g. LinkedIn)
Share short posts and link to longer content. Simply copy and paste the first 3-4 sentences of your article. These should ideally hook your reader. Then end the post by inviting your reader to keep reading – you could say something like “continue reading on my blog / Medium / XYZ.”
Established blogs/magazines/publications
Google “Write for Us + Topic” (e.g. Write for Us + Vegan food) and pitch your article to the editors.
Niche mates’ blogs
Approach a “niche mate” that has a blog/website and ask if they’d be willing to publish your piece. This is the article on Leonardo English (I mentioned it in the video).
