Thanks, Jose. I'm going to check out your writing tomorrow! As far as Human Parts goes . . . I'm sorry I have no idea how to help. I joined Medium a few years ago and if I remember correctly, editors of different "magazines" on Medium would scour new posts in search of ones to feature. An essay "My Secret Husband" was picked up by Human Parts and after that, I was given a link/button that allowed direct submissions. It doesn't mean a submission is automatically accepted, only that it lands in a pile of submissions to be considered, rather than editors scouring the entire site for possibilities. This was/is true of most the sections on Medium, I think. Sometimes the decision process has been so slow that I've given up and self published. This time was quick. FYI: The first time I was picked up by Human Parts I earned $800. That was comparable to what I made as a professional journalist published in national magazines and slightly more than I earned as a staff writer at a regional daily newspaper. Now, after Medium's pay restructuring and so many articles available for readers to choose from, I've earned $20 on this essay.
