Authority Magazine Editorial Team: Why Written Interviews Produce Far Better Results Than Phone Calls For Our Editorial Beat
We have found that for the purposes of our editorial beat, written interviews produce far better results for a written article.

Hi There! Thank you for your kind interest in our publication. If you are reading this page, you likely already know this, but a bit of review can never hurt.

Medium’s Authority Magazine is dedicated to arranging in-depth, feature length interviews with leaders in five main verticals, Pop Culture, Business, Tech, Wellness and Social Impact.

The purpose of our interviews is to bring out stories that can be empowering, actionable and uplifting. Our motto is “ We believe that good stories should feel beautiful to the mind, heart, and eyes”. You can learn more about us here.


So it appears that would like to do an interview with us, to share your insights, stories or wisdom with the public. Why, thank you. We are grateful that you appreciate the work we are doing. How do you start?

It’s fairly simple. (We think so, at least.)

There are two main links you need. The link below is the link to all of our ongoing interview storylines. Every one of the topics on that list are ongoing and evergreen, so you can apply to interview about any of them.

Authority Magazine’s Ongoing Interview Topics

Click on that link and choose a topic.

The next link you need is this one below. This link is a form that sends us your interview application, (also known as a pitch, but not related to any sports.)

Authority Magazine Pitch Form

Simply add your basic information in that form. Once you click submit, it will send an email to our editorial support staff. Our team will do some light vetting and if you are accepted we will send you an email with our interview questions.

We conduct most of our interviews by email. Why don’t we usually do phone interviews? We have found that for the purposes of our editorial beat, written interviews produce far better results for a written article.

Once you get the email with our email interview questions, you can respond to our interview questions. When you are fully done with the interview, you can send it back to us by uploading the interview, along with high-quality headshots, to our system with the special link at the bottom of the interview page.

Once you uploaded your interview to our system, you will see a spreadsheet with a queue, a line, of all the recent interviews on that topic. Soon after you will see an estimated publishing date.

After our team gets the interview from you, they will do some light editing, format it, make it look as pretty as possible, and then submit it for review.

Soon after that the main editors will publish it.

The link to the interview will be placed in the spreadsheet queue and in a few weeks it will also be emailed back to you.

That’s pretty much it. All of the small details will be explained to you when you receive the interview questions.

We hope this helps clarify things for you. If you need more help or assistance, feel free to reach out to support@authoritymag.co

Have a really amazing day!
