So far I haven’t dipped my pen into publications. I don’t see how or much info on it as you wrote. I’ve had a personal blog for five years where I write daily about topics I’m passionate about. I just became a published poet. I am unsure about medium. I feel that my writing is as good as most on the platform but I’m not getting anywhere fast. I’ll check back to see what others write. Meanwhile, I’m looking into other, more traditional publications off medium. Good luck.
