Help save a talented Medium writer
2 min readMar 3, 2022
Apparently, Medium has put writers on notice who don’t have enough followers. I know this from two angles. First, I saw this post from a writer I had never seen, which was funny, and someone I immediately followed:
Then I got a notice from a friend, Mitchell Allen, who ran into the same Medium problem. Mitchell is funny, clever, a puzzler, but not as prolific on Medium as others (though he creates plenty).
To borrow a baseball analogy, I call Mitchell a 5-tool player.
He is a poet — and a good one at that.
He writes fiction — some combination of gritty and funny, with a street-smart kind of feel.
