Marley K., forgive me if you are already aware of this but on your main Medium page, scroll down until you see New From Your Network. Click on that and it will take you to all the newest posts from your Medium connections. The last tab at top says People and that is where you will find latest post by writer rather publication or date.

Another idea is to create a new story titled Favorite Writers and make it a list of links to your favorite writers. Go to their Medium homepages, copy the link at the top of their pages, and then paste them into your new story. Medium will save it. Just keep it in your drafts and go to it whenever you want. Click on the link for any writer and you’ll go to their page where you can easily see their recent posts. And, you can add writers to your list any time you want. Takes a little work to create the list but it is worth the time so you can always find your faves instantly. Also, it’s difficult trying to remember everyone’s name or pseudonym.
