I just entered their short fiction contest since Medium does not really seem to push fiction though I believe there are a few publications for it. I have not looked that hard. Maybe I’m a sucker, and no doubt my chances of winning are about the same as for the Medium writers challenge for which I labored to enter two pieces (and then had to read the grand prize winner - no further comment there- and all the grumbling about how this contest was run and judged.) As to placing other work on Vocal I doubt I will bother. But I enjoyed the challenge and some reason to rewrite a short story I have had kicking around for years: one of those homeless pieces most of us have in their metaphorical desk drawers I suspect.
