Should you submit to Activated Thinker?
Activated Thinker is larger than 86% of the 356 publications we track, and its stories get more claps than 32% of them. It regularly publishes writers with fewer than 100 followers (36% of recent stories), so it is a realistic target for new writers. 6% of its stories older than three days have no claps yet. 72% of its stories are member-only (Partner Program).
Submission rules change often — always check the publication's own “Write for us” or “About” page before pitching.
