Down One. Up Four.
But will the four survive? I think so.
Storymaker is gone. It officially closed its doors on October 1. This seems to be happening with more and more frequency. In their good-bye, they noted two publications by name that are now “gone”. I came up with two more in the last several months.
Plus The Innovation. Plus, plus, plus… Then there are all of the once Medium-backed publications that began to shutter closed like The Ascent. I’ve literally forgotten who and how many pubs have closed even just since the beginning of the year. But despite it all, here comes the next generation of publications.
I kicked off Postcards earlier this month when the last active travel publication closed. So far there are about ten writers and one editor. Since there is literally no competition and as long as writers continue to submit and readers read we should be fine.
This is Melanie J.’s baby. She knows me as an editor. But she added me as a writer and anyway! I’ve already published there a couple of times now. You should really go check out Unpopular Opinions but only if your skin isn’t paper-thin.
