We remind all writers to review the updated photo handling policy as we still have problems.

Some 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 the inconvenience!

We are sorry for the publishing delays. Some of our editors are unwell, and the ones on duty are doing their best to clear the backlog.

Onboarding Pack for New Writers

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 to 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.

Slack is a tool safer than social media, as editors moderate it. For more info about our publications, you may check Illumination Blog.

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, 15,000+ writers are members of Slack and collaborating in this moderated workspace.

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 multiple people have the same name.

Introducing your background in a story like the ones in this collection can help you gain more visibility. Readers enjoy reading writer bios to learn more about their background.

You may also check out 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.
