Join me for Medium Day!
Hi Reader,
The first-ever Medium Day is happening next week! I was so excited to get a slot to talk about a topic I am deeply passionate about. I'm in great company -- over 200 sessions are scheduled!
Think conferences are boring? Lol, same. I loved how Chief of Staff Brittany Jezouit put it in her blog post announcement: "Think of this less like a traditional conference and more like a music festival."
So what's this mysterious topic? Well, if you know me, you know one thing I care very much about: How To Use Medium To Build A Writing Portfolio. Medium should never be your end point. It should always be your vehicle to bigger, better, greater things.
I'm so thrilled to have the chance to talk about that with two of my best writing friends, Sinem Günel and Amardeep Parmar.
Sign up now and join us next Saturday. Here's the full schedule if you want to check out what other amazing chats you could catch. I'm extremely keen on:
- Tony Stubblebine's keynote. He's the CEO of Medium!
- Is AI Really The Future?, a panel with Brandeis Marshall, Kenya Oduor, Ph.D., and Dr. C - Data & AI · Diversity · Wellness; moderated by Adrienne Gibbs
- The Write Stuff: Writing On Medium And The Writing Cooperative Q&A with Justin Cox
- Making Money On Medium: Facts, Myths & Misconceptions
Here's the link to register for all sessions. Just pick and choose your favorites!

Happy writing,

Good morning Reader, It is an uncomfortable truth that nobody really likes to acknowledge: to get better at writing, you should probably get better at taking feedback about your writing. (Sorry to Jane Austen for butchering her famous line.) I used to be terrible at dealing with comments from editors on my writing. I hated them! I feared them! I distrusted them! But you know what? To become a professional writer of any kind, you have to learn how to work with other people on that most...
Good morning Reader, Some exciting personal news: I've just been hired by Medium to be a product marketer! In short, I'll be doing a lot of what I have been doing - helping writers use Medium to write awesome stories - but now while wearing my sweet new Medium jumper. Here's the full story: Write Like Your Dream Employer Is Watching (or How I Got Hired by Medium) What does this mean for you? My focus will be more on Medium blogging specifically. In the past, I've written about AI tools, other...
Good morning Reader, Fun fact: my most-ever successful article started as a newsletter I wrote in about an hour. Seriously. Here's the story -- and if you were here a year ago, you might remember it! Around this time last year, I was getting fed up and annoyed with this one piece of advice I was seeing repeated everywhere: "You need to be on [insert platform]!" Insert platform was sometimes LinkedIn, sometimes TikTok, sometimes a newer platform like Threads. So I opened up my newsletter...
