How to Work With Us Post-Medium
Come on the journey with us
I recently announced our plan to leave Medium. Since publishing that story, I have been approached by multiple writers who are interested in continuing to work with us post-Medium. This story will step through exactly how you can do that. If you have any questions, please add a comment on the story (I can then add these questions back into the story at the bottom in a Q&A section).
Timing
We plan to launch our new site in early April, so just a couple of weeks away. At that stage, we will no longer accept submissions on Medium.
Working with SJP Post-Medium
Our new site will provide a super powerful (and highly intuitive) editing system to create and publish stories. Every writer gets their own page that features their work:
If you would like to join our team, you’ll need to follow the instructions on our Team page.
Monetisation Post-Medium
Our leadership team is currently discussing a plan for monetisation on our new site. Details are yet to be finalised and discussed within the broader team, but I can say that our intention is to create a revenue-sharing system whereby all writers have equal access to a publication revenue pool. We do not plan to implement a Medium-style referral system; we believe that writer payments should increase as overall publication revenue grows.
In other words, a rising tide should lift all boats.
The incentive will be squarely on building a super high-quality publication that readers want to contribute to, as opposed to rewarding sheer volume of stories, racing to meet review embargoes, or lowest-common-denominator content (hollow listicles or clickbait).
Questions?
If you have any questions around the above please pop them in the comments, and I’ll add them here along with answers.
