Every author aspires to one day get featured; featured user stories allow us to find the best of the best stories the Episode platform has to offer. Of course, there are plenty of little gems also to be discovered. With these two ideas in my mind, I decided to create two discussion topics: featured stories overview and Weekly recommendations.
Featured Stories Overview:
This is the segment where I will post about the new user stories that are featured for the week or month. I will not be giving my opinion on the stories. This segment will allow us to share the featured stories and of course, support the authors by reading their stories.
Weekly Recommendations:
This segment is where I share my top stories for the week. It will be a continuation of my Instagram posts “Maddie recommends.” If you would like to see screenshots from the stories I read in a specific week, go ahead and follow me @thetalk_maddie on Instagram.
