Hi Terrie, Thank you for clarifying the definition of how Medium reviews articles for distribution. This is so helpful and well-constructed.

I appreciate the explanation of the guidelines for fiction and memoir. I'm excited about writing new fiction and memoir stories on Medium.

I also like how Medium has addressed the bias toward "how-to" nonfiction and that they're opening up ways to serve more genres.

One of my stories got boosted recently (Mon, Aug 7) and it's the first article I've written that has been selected for a boost. I'm monitoring the views and reads and will have a better picture of how my story does when I receive my next MPP payment in September.

I'd love the opportunity to become a Boost Nomination Pilot editor. I applied on July 11, 2023, for my publication Six Word Photo Story Challenge, but I haven't heard back yet. https://medium.com/six-word-photo-story-challenge

Great breakdown on how things work at Medium. I think the new guidelines are clearer and will work for writers across all genres. Thank you!
