Submitting to a Publication? Avoid These Common Mistakes
Get your work published on any platform.
As the Submissions Manager of Mind Cafe & Editor of The Apeiron, I review over 300 articles a week from a variety of writers.
Of those 300, roughly only 10% get accepted.
That means I reject over 1000 articles a month.
Getting your first article published on an esteemed publication can be difficult. The amount of writers on Medium is forever increasing, and with that — the quality and expectation of writer submissions are on the rise.
