Hi Rachel, I think I remember you mentioning Stuvia some time back. I guessed you might have considered this option. :) If you did go down this route, you wouldn't be the only Medium writer who looked into it - some people have given off some "tells" suggesting they've tried it but are reluctant to come out openly about it. That's the problem with this type of work - nobody is going to be shouting about their achievements writing essays for other people from the rooftops. :P

If you didn't go ahead it with, though, you really dodged a bullet there!
