I keep updating my piece on Medium members' states as new people emerge and hope to send you another story soon. In the meantime Nancy Frriedman (@wordworking) is a really good writer who's not in any pubs: See her recent piece on movie characters' names. Not sure if she wants to submit to pubs, but you could try adding her as you did me and see what happens. She would be a great addition: https://medium.com/@wordworking
