• The Quantastic Journal: a publication about humanity, science, and technology.
  Sample story: What is a Particle, Really? by Selena Routley.
• The Parenting Portal: it’s about all things parenting, but it’s not just for parents. Sample story: Pregnancy Feels Different With Grief by Ayne.
• Life Without Children: for those who choose (or did not choose) a child-free life. Sample story: Why the Crazy Cat Lady Stereotype Is Especially Problematic for Women Without Children by Charlie Brown.
• Iberospherical, a publication that focuses on stories of Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking lands and culture. Sample story: My Name, My Home by Mario López-Goicoechea.

Active pubs

These publications are dependable resources every day. They are inspiring examples of what Medium communities can offer, especially if you are thinking about launching a pub of your own!

• Towards Data Science: Truly a one-stop-shop for anyone interested in technology topics, you can learn everything from tech career tips to how to build your own LLM.
• UX Collective: It’s not just about digital design. Its stories feature a lot of important conversations about inclusivity/accessibility, color theory, and brand-building.
• The Writing Cooperative, a phenomenal resource for grammar tips and advice on crafting narrative, but it also features encouraging topics, like Writing Through The Christmas Holidays: A Survival Guide.
• The Narrative Arc: If you love memoirs about the human condition, this is the place to be. It also runs monthly writing challenges, which are a great way to stretch your skills and get to know their community.
• Tastyble: Featuring truly useful recipes and cooking advice for things you know you should be doing, but don’t, so now you don’t have an excuse (such as properly cleaning a cast iron pan or how to quick-pickle your own stuff).
