Having your own publication on Medium is fantastic for building your own readership. But don’t forget about your profile’s subscribers.
I may be the last person to notice a feature that Medium offers us, but I don’t believe it. I think many of you don’t realize that you are giving away views and reads when you post articles directly to your publication.

Compensation is becoming more and more intransparent, and Medium recommendation algorithm is still a disaster.
Since August, I don’t write as regularly as before. Since I last got a bonus in July and then Medium discontinued this model, I haven’t seen any reason to make a special effort.
I had hoped to be considered in the Fellowship program that followed, but that hope was dashed…

Sometimes readers write to tell me how much they enjoyed one or another of my books. That always makes me very happy, of course. But then I often get questions about the plot of that book or about where I researched specific facts about the story. …
