Daily Success Stories from ILLUMINATION

Cherishing Options

1890 ILLUMINATION writers are illuminating 17,000+ readers!

Why are you going to choose failure when success is an option? — Jillian Michaels

ILLUMINATION LOGO

Many writers participated in two writing challenges. You can find them from these links: Challenge 1 and Challenge 2.

I am inspired by number of participants and their enthusiasm. I cannot even mention the names here due to growing list. I compiled all submitted stories as part of this challenge in a single story for easy access.

Thank you for the submissions related to both challenges. I look forward to the remaining writers to participate and enjoy the benefits of this writing challenge. We need to collaborate.

This activity is an excellent opportunity to meet new writers and develop your relationship with them. This activity can increase the number of your followers and fans. The more fans you have, the more visible and readable your articles can be. Let’s keep our vitality and create synergy.

What did ILLUMINATION writers create today?

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

One of the purposes of this daily distribution is to access to our stories easily. You can read and share them easily. You can follow the writers. I recommend enjoying as many stories as possible from this list. If your story is not included, please leave a comment by linking your story. As of publication team, we do our best, but it must be a collective effort. To this end, it will be excellent for each writer to take responsibility to create visibility for his or her own story. Please remember tweeting the stories you read. We grow with support, synergy, and collaboration.

Let’s check our publication page for more stories. Many more stories can be found from our publication page.

New writers who joined ILLUMINATION today

22 new writers joined our publication today. We have 1890 writers supporting ILLUMINATION now.

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 392 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 check this story from Timothy Key to learn how to use Slack if you haven’t used it before.

Please also check our process and procedures for further details on our publication.

As ILLUMINATION hosts an impressive number of high-quality stories distributed to the topics from our creative writers, I compiled those stories. I aim to create awareness for the high-quality stories so that our new writers can leverage these excellent stories, model the styles so that they can improve their stories for increasing chance of curation by Medium curators. 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.

We have some volunteering editors who can perform a proof-reading for the writers from the non-English speaking background. You can search for volunteers from our Slack channel. One of the proof-reading tools our writers recommend is Grammarly.
