Thank you, Shaunta. I think you’ve answered all of my questions. I worry, though, that at some point Medium will be swimming in separate publications and we’ll all get lost in the crowd.

I didn’t realize any one writer/editor could have SEVEN publications! It’s good to have a certain amount of control over our stories but I think Medium will lose its clout if it becomes just another blogging platform, like Wordpress.

Still, you’ve laid out some interesting thoughts about the pros of starting a publication. Lots to think about. Thanks.
