You learn something valuable from all of the significant events and people, but you never touch your true potential until you challenge yourself to go beyond imposed limitations. — ― Roy T. Bennett

I proposed a new writing challenge on my bulletin yesterday. To start the ball rolling, I created a sample article based on my experience. Attached is the sample for your consideration.

I am pleased that six writers have already taken the challenge and submitted their top stories. Here are the ones which I had a chance to review and enjoy today. Hope you enjoy them too! This is a great opportunity to explore our writers and their great stories.

I will start compiling these great stories in a single story and share with our readers for easy access. With your support, our plan is to get these stories to be indexed on Google, turn them to reference materials so that a large audience can find and access them.

Once you complete this activity, I will propose another great challenge for you. Stay tuned!

What did ILLUMINATION writers create today?

Here is a bundle of stories I was able to add to our distribution list today. Thank you for adding comments to create visibility to your great stories.

Many more stories can be found from our publication page.

New writers who joined ILLUMINATION today

18 new writers joined our publication today. We have 1796 writers supporting ILLUMINATION now. A warm welcome to our new writers: 21stcenturygrio, Kylie Craft, 21stcenturygrio, Luis Prospero, Jessica Sun, Karoline Moraes, Rahul Pathak, Jenine Bsharah Baines, Josh Lonsdale, Anand Damani, M.Nithursan, MillennialMind, Sandra Maria, John Nugent, Maggie Hu, Anna da Silva, Lisa Patrell, Noah Simonich

IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW WRITERS: To ensure your stories are published on a timely basis, please provide required credits to the photos and extracted information from other sources. This is the most common issue delaying some stories to be published. If you turn off your private messages we have no other mechanism to reach out to you. If your article is not published within 48 hours please contact me from this link.

I received several inquiries from new writers who want to know how to add stories to publication. Please see the attached story providing step by step guidance by our editor Timothy Key.

ILLUMINATION Slack Channel

We created a writer collaboration platform using Slack. We have 385+ members. I added several writers to our Slack channel today. Thank you for the inquires and willingness to join our collaboration and innovation lab. New writers are invited to join our Slack to have a chat and collaborate with other inspiring writers. We discuss editorial matters, Medium policies, content quality, and overall writing skills improvement. You can request an invitation to Slack from this link. Please type Request for Slack on the heading as I have many other requests from this link.

You can find the complete list from the attached story. I update it regularly.

Content Quality Focus

Our current writers know that we strive for excellence. We aim to increase the quality of your stories and provide an enjoyable reading experience to our followers. Quality is an iterative process. I notice that the quality of our stories is increasing day by day. The curation rate increased.

New writers: please ensure that you check your stories for typos, spelling, and grammar errors before submitting them to the publication. Our readers deserve high quality stories.
