Well, Moriah Rivera-Lawrence, with that “y’all”, I thought you were from my section of the country, not Oregon! Even so, I am delighted to add you as a contributor for Weeds & Wildflowers 😉 Welcome to our Garden!

I noticed that you are very new to Medium and don’t write for a publication yet, so I am going to provide a few instructions you may or may not need. Let me know if you have any questions!

Write your piece — be sure to give credit for any images, including your own.

1. Once your piece is ready, click on the 3 dots in the upper right-hand corner of the page that are to the left of the little notifications bell
2. Click on the top choice “Add to publication”
3. Under the publications list, choose Weeds & Wildflowers (which is probably the only one you have if you don’t write for any others)
4. At the bottom of the window, click “Select and continue”
5. Now you will have a green button at the top of the page with your piece that says “Submit” — click that
6. A new window opens and it should say “Submitting to Weeds & Wildflowers”. Beneath that is a place to select up to 5 tags. Choose your tags.
7. Once your tags are chosen, click the green “Submit to publication” button
