Medium Day is coming, and we’re revealing something big: our first annual State of Writing report.

We wanted to know what’s really happening with writing in 2026. So we partnered with Harris Poll to survey over 1,000 U.S. writers and combined those findings with Medium’s own data. The result is a first-of-its-kind report on how people write today, and how they’re thinking about AI. Join us at Medium Day, where Vice President of Content Scott Lamb will reveal the findings in a live keynote session!
