Itโs the moment youโve been working towards all month! Today weโre pressing publish.
Please join us at our Press Publish Party at 12 pm ET today! Weโre going to celebrate the end of the challenge together. Sign up to attend our live webinar, and we can all press publish, together. See you there.
Todayโs assignment: Press publish
Your story deserves to be shared. Youโve been working towards crafting your story all month, and today youโre going to cross the final hurdle: pressing publish.
Here are two ways to do it:
- Just press publish! On your own time, at some point today, muster up the courage and hit that publish button. (If you submitted to a publication, press submitโโโthe editors will review your submission!)
- Join us at 12 pm ET in our Zoom Room to press publish together. Sometimes itโs a little easier to do the hard things with some company. Someone on the Medium side will be in the Zoom room between 12โ12:30 pm ET to keep some motivational jams going, answer any last-minute questions, and be part of the publishing process.
If you finished this challenge, whether youโre with us live or youโre completing it after the fact, you deserve a huge round of applause.
Everyone has a story to tell, but few take the time to make a writing habit, commit to developing their story idea, and build the courage to share it.
Please share your story in the responses of this storyโโโweโd love to read and celebrate your hard work!
Hapy writing,
Zulie @ Medium and Scott Lamb
FAQ
Q: What happens to my story now that Iโve published it?
A: Your story is live! Share the link with anyone you want. If you chose to paywall it, you can share it with non Members using a Friend link. You can read more about how Medium distributes your story here.
Q: If I submitted to a publication, how long will I have to wait to hear back?
A: This depends on the publication. Check the submission guidelinesโโโmost will have an estimated amount of time it takes them to get to your submission.
Q: Can I write more stories following this process?
A: Absolutely. If this method worked for you, feel free to rinse and repeat.
