Every writer on the medium is given ample space to write and publish himself or publish in a publication. But what is the main difference while writing and publishing on self or on a publication? This is a very basic question that arises in the mind of every new writer on the medium.

Before addressing this question we need to understand what exactly medium publication is?

How medium itself defines the publication

According to the medium help center, the guide about publication defines the medium Publications :

“Medium publications are shared spaces for stories written around a common theme or topic, usually by multiple authors.”

So this short definition of publication helps us to understand three main aspects related to medium publications.

  1. Shared spaces for stories provide everybody the opportunity to get reasonable space to write his or her story according to his own writing style.
  2. Stories were written about a common theme as we come across publications covering a specific topic i.e. history, science, and lifestyle
  3. Multiple authors contribute to publications and this helps us to interact with multiple minds and a variety of ideas.
