Upload a list of email addresses to Medium

Writers who send their stories via the newsletter feature can import their own list of email subscribers collected from elsewhere. You can only import by agreeing to follow our Email Import Terms of Use, including important requirements that apply to your use of the import tool. For example, you agree to only upload subscribers who've signed up to receive emails directly from you, and not have been obtained from a third party.

Requirements

To be able to import your email subscriber lists, you must have a .csv or .txt file with the email addresses you want to upload. Learn more.

In addition to filling out and submitting this form, California residents may make such requests by emailing privacy@medium.com.

Additional requirements for Authorized Agents

If you are making this request as an authorized agent, please upload below in the Attachments field either (1) a written and signed authorization from the California resident indicating you have authority to submit this request, or (2) a power of attorney from the California resident pursuant to Cal.

We may deny requests from agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authority to make rights requests. Furthermore, we may require California residents to verify their own identities or confirm that their agents have permission to submit rights requests on their behalf. Requests may be denied if they cannot be verified or confirmed.

Here are some of the most frequent questions from nominators:

Can I get additional feedback about why a nomination was declined?

Disagreeing (sometimes strongly!) with a declined nomination is a natural, expected aspect of participating in this program. Understandably, many nominators would like to appeal a nomination decision they disagree with, receive detailed feedback about a declined nomination, or gather more information about how stories could be improved to be selected for Boost. However, this program’s nomination and review process is focused on decision-making only. There are no appeals, nor are we able to offer individual guidance on why a story was not Boosted.

For more information, please see this section of the program FAQ.

How many stories can I nominate a month?

When you start the program, you can nominate five posts per calendar week, up to 20 a month. Aim to nominate five posts by the 7th of the month, another five by the 14th, and so on. The goal of this weekly guideline is to spread Boost nominations throughout the month, to avoid “dead zones” with few nominations coming in, and backlogs at the end of the month with last-minute nominations. All your nominations for the month must be received by midnight UTC on the final day of the month.

For more information, please see this section of the program FAQ.

As a publication editor, can I nominate a story before it’s published?

Yes, and we recommend doing so! This is the most efficient way to nominate a story from your publication:

Edit the story draft
Schedule the draft to publish a couple days in the future
Nominate the story by sharing the draft link in the Boost nomination form
You'll hear back within a day or so if the story is selected for Boost
If it's selected for Boost, the story will automatically get Boosted immediately upon its scheduled publication

For more information, please see this section of the program FAQ.

How to find your Medium account

Regardless of the method you used to sign up to Medium, there’s always an email address attached to your account. Try the following:

Check if you can find any emails from Medium in your email inboxes. If you have received emails from Medium to a specific inbox, it means that you have an account associated with that email address.
If you have a membership subscription, check all your email inboxes and try to find the email titled Thank you for becoming a member. If you are able to find that email, it means that your membership Medium account is associated with that email address.

How to sign in to your account

Once you know which email address is associated with your Medium account, you can sign in to your Medium account with that email address.

Desktop iOS & Android

On the Medium homepage, click Sign in in the top-right corner.
Choose Sign in with email.
Enter your email address and click Continue.
Go to your inbox and open the verification email.
Click Sign in to Medium in the email to be redirected to Medium and signed in to your account.
If you do not have access to your email inbox on the device, click Can't use a magic link for some reason? We can send you a code instead at the bottom of the sign in prompt, and check your inbox for the email containing the 5 digit sign in code. Enter that code to sign in.

Note: The email verification link expires after two hours and can only be used once. If you run out of time or need a new email login later on, follow the same process again to get a new email login link.

Open the Medium app on your device.
Tap Sign in with email.
Enter your email address and tap Continue.
Go to your inbox on your device and open the verification email. You must open the verification link from the same device you requested it.
Tap Sign in to Medium in the email to be redirected to Medium and signed in to your account.

What is my password?

At this time, Medium does not support a password system for signing in to your account.

Instead, you can sign in to your Medium account using your email address or a social account that you've connected with your Medium account. You can learn how to connect your social account in this article.

I am not receiving the sign in email link

If you're having problems with receiving the sign in link email, try the following:

Search your "All Mail" and "Spam" inbox for emails from: noreply@medium.com. If you set up any custom email filters, double-check them to see if they might send Medium emails into another folder.
Our emails come from noreply@medium.com so that email address might need to be safelisted in your email system. Adding noreply@medium.com to your contact list should safelist it for most email providers.
You might also ask your IT team, email administrator, or ISP if your email server is blocking emails from Medium. Emails from Medium come from noreply@medium.com, so that email address might need to be whitelisted on the email server level.
