Success stories for ILLUMINATION Writers
Curation Growth and Acceleration
Cross-pollinating writers to create synergy and value for readers with innovative ways

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. — Shonda Rhimes
Focus on Curation
As more writers are joining our publication, there is a tremendous interest in curation. We have a successful track record for the curation of our articles. I feel privileged to be supported many top writers in multiple categories.
By using our cross-pollination capability, I am committed and determined to help our writers to be curated in their interest areas. Even though curation is subjective on Medium, we can increase the chance by following the guidelines and improving our skills by modelling frequently curated writers.
To this end, I send an invitation to start collecting curated articles of our writers and make them visible to our readers and writers.
This initiative can bring two benefits.
Firstly, curated stories of our writers can have better visibility, more readability, and even get a chance to go viral.
The second benefit is our new writers can easily find our curated stories and connect with the writers. I plan to start a structured mentoring program to prepare our new writers and help them gain experience.
I invited all curated writers to send their collection.
Details are in the attached story.
As some of you have already seen, we capture our curated story daily and record them in a story. I highly recommend our new writers to search and find curated stories in their interest areas and gain familiarity. This is the story we keep all our curated stories. You can easily find the stories and connect with the writers.
A large portion of the curated articles are by top writers. Therefore, it will be great to connect with top writers in your interest areas. You can find the list from this story.
