At Cantor’s Paradise, we emphasize quality over quantity. Writing for a Medium publication should be something special. Your story shouldn’t drown in a stream of dusins of stories every day, it should have its moment and be allowed to to shine. That is why we try to emphasize the following four pillars:

Evaluation. We believe in the value of having every new story read and evaluated by other writers before they are published. Feedback from other writers who care about the same topics you do is what ensures that content on Cantor’s Paradise is of high quality, and so maximizes visibility both on Medium and the Internet at large.

We won’t flood our readers’ feeds with stories they don’t care about.

If you write for us, your stories will be both viewed by and clicked by people who are interested in the topic. Topics which will be clicked on but not read are strongly discouraged.
