Writing, Creativity & Storytelling: 121 Publications Listed

For storytellers who write not just to say something, but to be felt.

This bundle is made for the ones who live by the pen, the ones who feel their way into a sentence, and the ones who want their stories to matter.

Inside, you’ll find Medium publications that celebrate the craft of writing, the joy of creativity, and the art of storytelling with space for your voice, your style, and your weird little experiments that don’t quite fit anywhere else.

Whether you’re crafting essays, satire, poems, or something that doesn’t even have a name yet, your words deserve a home. These Medium publications don’t just publish, they listen. And they give your writing a place to land, linger, and leave a mark.

A Note on Inactive Publications

Some publications in this list may no longer be actively publishing or may not currently accept new writers. But don’t let that discourage you.

Here’s what you can do:

• Find the editor’s Medium profile (linked in the sheet) and reach out politely.
• If they’re no longer managing the publication, and if you're truly committed to writing, ask if they’d be open to transferring ownership.
• Even if the publication has just 20 followers or less, it’s a starting point.
  With consistency, quality, and heart—you can grow it into a powerful space for your voice and for others like you.

Sometimes, your breakthrough isn’t about getting accepted.
It’s about starting something of your own.
