It’s now easier to get email notifications about stories from writers you follow. Previously, the options to follow and get notified about a writer’s new stories were available separately, but now you can easily do both in one click.

This makes it quicker and easier to manage your preferences and keep tabs on writers you want to see in your inbox.

To get email notifications about stories from a writer you’ve just discovered, click the follow button on one of their stories, then choose Email notifications on. When that writer publishes a new story and chooses to send it to their email subscribers, you’ll receive a story preview directly to your inbox.

For writers you already follow, simply open one of their stories and adjust your notification preferences by clicking on the Following button. To learn more, check out this support article.

We want to make it simple for readers to stay in the loop on new stories, and for writers to be able to connect more easily with their readers on Medium. Try it out when you see it and let us know what you think. We’re always reading your feedback and working to make your experience on Medium better.

P.S. We’re rolling this change out across Medium now. This feature will be available to everyone over the next week, so stay tuned if you don’t see it just yet.
