📝 A Note on Inactive Publications
Some publications may no longer be active or open to new writers.
If that’s the case:
- Check the editor’s profile (linked in the sheet) and reach out politely
- If they’re no longer managing it, and you’re passionate, ask about taking ownership
- Even a small publication with 20 followers can grow—especially when rooted in real stories and steady writing
Sometimes, the best way to get published is to create the space yourself.
