Curated Collection

Collection of Boosted Stories from ILLUMINATION Publications — V4

Presenting well-crafted and impactful stories for avid readers, inspiring new writers with samples, introducing our curation services, and new writers joining us recently

Happy New Year! In this post, we present our boosted stories curated through nominations of our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz and boost nominator, Aiden (Illumination Gaming), supported by consulting editors from ILLUMINATION publications.

We compiled this list today because ILLUMINATION editors will distribute them to our subscribers on Substack later today. Our readers, especially Friends of Medium, requested to have curated collections and we believe that boosted stories can meet this requirement. They are extra valuable because these stories were nominated by our editors and accepted by curators on Medium.

This curated collection aims to present readers with well-crafted/impactful stories and inspire our writers by providing them with sample-boosted stories meeting or exceeding the distribution criteria. We also introduce our curation and featuring service for non-boosted stories. You can meet the new writers whose profiles are linked at the end of this post.

Most of the boosted stories are hosted on ILLUMINATION-Curated, a distinctive publication hosting and spotlighting high-quality, memorable, relatable, and insightful stories from talented writers covering 100+ topics since 2020. This publication is designed to host the stories of experienced and accomplished writers.

Medium made significant changes in 2023. To this end, our chief editor provided guidance showing our publishing strategy aligning with Medium’s direction for 2024. Strategic Changes on Medium in 2023: How I Adapted to the New Strategy.

As of October 2023, ILLUMINATION-Curated has started nominating stories for boosting. You can learn details from an interview with Dr Mehmet Yildiz conducted by ILLUMINATION editors. How ILLUMINATION Publications Support the BOOST Program

Many new writers join our publications and wish to understand the criteria to write for ILLUMINATION-Curated. Unlike our other publications, this one only serves experienced writers as its loyal readers desire. For those interested, we have detailed submission guidelines.

After reviewing the guidelines, if you believe our service resonates with you, please contact Dr. Yildiz on ILLUMINATION’s Slack workspace. He will give you writer access. He also mentors many writers to increase their chances of boosting on Medium.

Approximately 80% of our applicants belong to the middle category, making them valuable contributors to ILLUMINATION. We then distribute the workload evenly between Readers Hope and ILLUMINATION-Curated, managing both ends of the spectrum.

We start absolute beginners with Readers Hope, then allow them to tap into a broader audience via ILLUMINATION and our special publications like Synergy, Mirror, Book Chapters, Technology Hits, Gaming, Videos/Podcasts, and Nutrition. Then, we select writers who consistently submit high-quality stories to be added to ILLUMINATION-Curated.

Congratulations, ILLUMINATION Gaming as New Boost Nominating Publication on Medium. Our hardworking editor and also the owner of the gaming publication Aiden (Illumination Gaming) announced that his publication was selected to participate in the boost program. You can learn more about it from his recent story.

Aiden began featuring writers by analyzing their stories and educating our writers about common patterns that boosted those stories. Here are the first two in his series:

Lessons Learned from Boosted Stories — Episode #1

Lessons Learned from Boosted Stories — Episode #2

We look forward to your stories in all our publications, and we will choose well-crafted, memorable, and impactful stories through our nominators. In addition, Medium curators also organically boosted hundreds of stories from ILLUMINATION, which we plan to share in another collection.

Supporting Friends of Medium Subscribers

One of our goals to create curated collections is to support Friends of Medium, who follow our publications. Dr Mehmet Yildiz wrote about the value of this program and shared his vision, strategy, and tactics to support these members they contribute to the income of our writers four times more than other members. You may review his stories to gain insights.

Importance and Value of Medium Friendship for Writers and Readers

Why I Became a Friend of Medium

Celebrating My Reading Anniversary with My Upgraded Subscription to New Medium Friendship

We introduce writers recently joining us at the end of this post.

For new writers, any story submitted to ILLUMINATION-Curated must align with Medium’s distribution and boosting guidelines like any other publications in our management. Furthermore, we emphasize that the content should resonate with the discerning readership of this publication.

We value diversity and variety, which means there are no topic restrictions as long as the stories adhere to Medium’s policies and our values.

Currently, we cover over 100 topics, emphasizing substance and meaningful content for our readers. We expect to cater to more topics as our writers and readers propose.

We do not censor content as long as stories comply with Medium’s guidelines.

Please review our submission guidelines and comprehensive checklist before sending your high-impact and well-articulated stories to ILLUMINATION-Curated.

ILLUMINATION-Curated: New Submission Guidelines 2023

New Writers: Enhance the Chance of Boosting By Using This Checklist

Since Medium now requires paid membership for the Partner Program, we will also include stories of members for this publication to maintain our high standards and commitment to our loyal readers. However, our other publications still support non-members.

Except for the Lampshade of ILLUMINATION, our publications don’t accept AI-generated content. You may learn about our AI writing policy.

In addition to Medium’s distribution guidelines, ILLUMINATION-Curated has established a specific set of criteria to enhance the quality of publications.

We aim for high quality but don’t insist on perfection. We are practical and believe every writer can improve with feedback from readers, editors, and peers. Our goal is to provide our subscribers with a pleasant and satisfying reading experience.

How do we promote non-boosted stories?

As we mentioned before, only around 1% of stories are boosted by Medium, but we still publish thousands of excellent stories delighting our loyal readers. Besides sharing on social media, our editors also create curated collections, presenting them to our readers. Here are various types of curation services by our volunteer editors and curators.

Curated stories by our editor/curator Aiden (Illumination Gaming)

Curated stories by our editor/curator Mike Broadly, DHSc

Curated stories by our editor/curator Elin Melaas

Curation Service by ILLUMINATION editors

Curated stories for ILLUMINATION Reading Club by ILLUMINATION-Curators

Curated technology stories by the tech profile of Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech)

Dr Mehmet Yildiz also encouraged all Friends of Medium to start sharing friend links on our tailored social media platform. We interviewed him, asked how to achieve this goal, and provided a script in a bulletin.

Today, we share recently boosted stories through our nominations to give readers valuable stories to read and writers examples to emulate to increase their chances of boosting on Medium.

Dear writers and readers, please be careful with growing scams and spam accounts on Medium. Today ILLUMINATION editors posted an important bulletin to inform you.

Please enjoy our boosted stories from ILLUMINATION-Curated.

New Curation Service by ILLUMINATION

Why We Have a New Curation Service

Boosted stories are doing well, but 99% of great stories hardly gain visibility. Understandably, Medium can’t boost all great stories. However, writers pour their hearts and souls, and stories don’t have any views, even from the followers of writers or publications. We don’t know the reasons.

To address the visibility of stories, out of 145 volunteer editors, our team of around 50 volunteer curators developed a new service idea. Each nominates a few stories from their reading list daily, and our lead ILLUMINATION-Curators compile them into collections like this one for our readers.

Additionally, our lead curator includes them in a LIST, a fantastic Medium feature. Feel free to save, share on social media, link to your stories, comment, and like the list for increased visibility. These lists will be created monthly, and here’s our first list for your engagement.

The entire curation process takes up much of our volunteers’ time, so we will appreciate your support as your time allows.

We noticed that engagement rates have been low. But Medium now rewards writers based on engagement. Therefore, we encourage our readers and writers to engage meaningfully with the stories we curate.

We understand everyone has different tastes, and you can’t read every story. However, if each reader selects a few stories, shares them, and engages with them, we can significantly increase views and reading times for these stories that usually get minimal visibility and delight our writers.

Collaboration among writers and readers is crucial on Medium, making it a great place for both. All our editors and administrators are volunteers, dedicating their time to give a voice to every writer. They review and publish stories daily without any payment. Let’s recognize their contributions and use this service graciously.

Our curators, editors, and administrators are committed to this duty. However, if they don’t see acceptance, they might stop. We highly encourage you to support this new curation service by choosing great stories, meaningfully engaging with them, and supporting your favorite writers.

Leaving comments, giving claps, sharing on social media, and following profiles will delight these writers. In an upcoming bulletin, we’ll share more information on how we use our Slack workspace to expand this service to all writers to be part of the curation process.

For example, we created a channel for writers to nominate their own stories and another channel to nominate stories of their favorite writers.

We hope you enjoy this service and look forward to your support for these beautifully written stories. Please leave a comment about these nominated and chosen stories you enjoy, the writers you follow, and any recommendations to improve our services.

You can access our internally curated stories from the following links.

Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8, Volume 9, Volume 10, Volume 11, Volume 12, Volume 13, Volume 14, and Volume 15, and Volume 16, Volume 17, Volume 18, Volume 19, Volume 20

Many thanks Aiden (Illumination Gaming) to creating shareable lists for these collections daily.

In addition, our senior editor, Mike Broadly, DHSc, has started his curation progress by sharing stories he reads daily. Here are the links to Mike’s collections.
