A few writers couldn’t see publications in their profiles, so we added them again. We hope all writers can see them now. Sometimes glitches happen beyond our control. Sorry for inconveniences!

In the previous bulletins during the week, we introduced the following writers who have already contributed to our publications.

We hope you enjoy their stories. Let’s support these new writers to find more readers on Medium engaging in their stories and sharing them on social media.

Thank you for joining our journey. We look forward to your interesting stories. Please review the attached onboarding pack before submitting your stories, as it includes helpful information to get you started quickly.

If you submit quality stories with captioned and copyright-free images, our editors can publish them faster. As a quick reminder, please particularly review the photo handling policy attached in the pack.

Dr Mehmet Yildiz, our chief editor, and owner of Illumination Integration Publications, will send you an invitation to our Slack workspace via the email you registered in the application form. Joining Slack is optional and free for all members. Please contact Dr. Yildiz directly on Slack if you cannot see publications. Slack workspace has excellent benefits for writers. Currently, 11,800+ writers are members of Slack and collaborating in this moderated workspace. It is safer than social media as editors moderate it. For more info about our publications, you may check Illumination Blog.

Some applicants forgot to add their Medium ID when applying. Therefore, we couldn’t give them writer access. If you see this message, please re-apply with a link to your Medium account or a link to one of your stories so that we can find you. Just your name is not enough as there are multiple people with the same name.

Introducing your background in a story like the ones in this collection can be helpful in gaining more visibility. Readers enjoy reading writer bios to learn more about their background. You may also check great stories in our featured collection from the last three days. We believe you might find valuable and enjoyable pieces in the new and previous collections.
