The purpose of this post is to give our readers a quick taste of content published in our diverse and inclusive publication, ILLUMINATION on Medium. We are grateful to publish our 100+ collections this year contributed by 15,500+ inspiring storytellers and give them a voice on this platform.

If you plan to turn your articles and blog posts into books, you may check this guide posted by Dr Mehmet Yildiz. He encourages our writers to become published authors and earn income by diversifying content on multiple platforms and formats. Your books chapters in story format might generate income on Medium.
