Chosen stories from experienced writers for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
Today, we have chosen interesting and informative stories to give you a quick taste of our diverse and inclusive publication, ILLUMINATION on Medium. As 15,000+ writers contribute to our publications, we don’t run out of high-quality stories to feature for our readers.
You might find the collections by the editor of ILLUMINATION Amplifier at the end of this post. They cover curated pieces from our previous collections. Our editors enjoy amplifying well-written, engaging, informative, and interesting content of our writers using various approaches and tools. We’d appreciate sharing these collections with interested readers.
Let’s welcome new writers joining us today!
Rivai, Bright Money, mina, Ivan Popov, Robert John, MAIMUNA ISAH, Evon, Sam Hallows.
Thank you for joining our team in this journey. Please review the attached onboarding pack, 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 quickly.
Please particularly review the photo handling policy attached in the pack. We don’t accept plagiarized content and remove offenders immediately. In addition, Medium suspends the accounts of plagiarizers. We look forward to reviewing, publishing, and promoting your great stories.
Please turn on your private messages as there is no other way for our editors to communicate with you, except for Slack. If your private message is not available and you are not on Slack we had no option but reject your stories when we see problems.
