ILLUMINATION on YouTube
We established a new publication called “ILLUMINATION on YouTube” aiming to give voice to YouTubers on Medium and allow Medium writers to introduce their YouTube channel. All writers and YouTubers are welcome to join this exciting journey. This pub is owned by Illumination YouTube Coordinator. Details are in this story. Recently, we introduced Carla Woody on Illumination YouTube Channel. Today, Arlo Hennings was featured on our channel. We will feature more writers.
Thanks reader for feedback in emails for our monthly newsletter. Readers are enjoying our eclectic and engaging stories. We gained many more subscribers who are interested in stories of our writers.
Introduction to New Writers
We introduce new writers joining our publications in this post daily. Our purpose is to reduce the administrative workload for 15,000+ writers. This new approach will save us significant time. Besides, this new plan might give an opportunity to our existing writers to find and follow new writers. It is beneficial for previous and new writers for cross pollinating them actively.

Good News: Two Innovative Content Distribution Companies Amalgamate Dr Mehmet Yildiz #writing #publishing
Freelance writers pour their heart and soul into their content. They deserve compensation. Innovative companies like Draft2Digital and Smashwords open the path by giving independent writers and authors a competitive opportunity.
