Hi, I’m the new editor of Human Parts
And I want to read your writing
UPDATE 10/13/23 SEE BELOW!
You know those late night conversations with friends when you end up telling your best stories? Those are the ones I want.
I want to collect your beautiful gems in the little eggplant-colored suede pouch that I got from Museum Village when I was 12. I bought it to hold my childhood collection of hand-blown glass marbles, the existence of which is one of the least queer things about me — if you’re wondering. I’ve lost all my marbles since then. Take any of that however you want.
Human Parts backstory you can skip: My name is Jay (it used to be Laura but that’s MY story) and I want to hear your story. Steph (who created Human Parts) and Harris (a little gay man boy who edited the collection for a long time) wrote a good post about what fits well here. I am not as experimental (smart) as them and have a slightly different taste (salty), so I edited and updated the submission guidelines to reflect those changes.
Human Parts is Medium’s home for personal essays and perspectives — from the mundane to the extraordinary to everything in between. More than anything, we strive to inspire our readers to close their browsers and start writing themselves.
