Written on
Chapter 1: Monthly Highlights from ILLUMINATION
In May 2024, ILLUMINATION Publications released a curated collection of compelling narratives, designed to captivate avid readers and inspire emerging writers. Our initiative not only showcases exceptional storytelling but also introduces our curation services and welcomes new contributors.
For those who are not yet members, you can access these stories through our shared links.
New Writer Applications
Prospective writers are encouraged to apply through our registration portal. Before submitting your works, please consult our checklist and onboarding materials to ensure compliance with our submission guidelines.
Monthly Newsletter Updates
Greetings to all readers and writers! As we transition into June, we look forward to sharing our monthly newsletter shortly. In the interim, our team at ILLUMINATION-Curators diligently compiles our highlighted stories for publication on Medium, with plans to extend our reach via Substack for our subscribers.
At the conclusion of this post, we will introduce our newest writers, inviting you to explore their profiles and narratives.
Chapter 2: The Value of Curated Stories
The stories included in our collection hold immense value, having undergone rigorous editing and selection by our editorial team. We encourage sharing the provided links, enabling more readers to enjoy these finely crafted narratives, and potentially draw them into the Medium community.
Boosting Emerging Talent
This curated collection serves a dual purpose: it provides readers with powerful and memorable stories while motivating writers with exemplary pieces that meet or surpass our distribution standards. Most of our highlighted stories can be found on ILLUMINATION-Curated, a unique publication that has spotlighted over 100 topics since its inception in 2020, aimed at showcasing the talents of seasoned writers.
As of October 2023, we have commenced the nomination process for story boosting, a strategic shift guided by our chief editor in response to Medium's evolving landscape.
Understanding Boost Criteria
Many new contributors express a desire to comprehend the criteria for writing for ILLUMINATION-Curated. Unlike our other publications, this particular platform is tailored for experienced writers, meeting the expectations of our discerning audience. We provide comprehensive submission guidelines for those interested.
Once you've reviewed the criteria and if you feel our services align with your vision, please reach out to Dr. Yildiz via our Slack workspace to gain writing access. He also offers mentorship to enhance your chances of securing a boost on Medium.
