Featured Stories About “Writing” From The Top Writers of SYNERGY
Selected stories on how to improve writing skills and become a top writer in writing
As a professional writer and published book author, I have a strong affinity and empathy for freelance writers and published authors. Therefore, since I joined Medium, I have written about several topics and supported writers to find their voice and gain confidence.
To this end, I created six publications serving different purposes. They are integrated to empower contributing writers and give a pleasant reading experience to our valued readers.
I established a specialized publication about freelance writing. It is called SYNERGY. The purpose of SYNERGY is specific. It is dedicated to freelance writers to showcase stories and bloggers who want to convert their blogs to Medium stories. This publication has a strategic and entrepreneurial focus. It aims to empower writers by creating synergy with collaboration.
I am honored to host writing stories of the best writers on Medium.
I also established another publication allowing published authors to repurpose their books in story format on Medium. It is called ILLUMINATION Book Chapters.
I invited published authors on Medium and many Indie authors from other sites to join us and earn income from their published content. They gain new readers via repurposed book chapters. Many writers started to compile their stories in a manuscript format and submit chapters to this publication.
Everyone knows about ILLUMINATION, but a unique collection called ILLUMINATION-Curated hosts thousands of outstanding stories from accomplished writers. Now that Medium cleaned the fake accounts, we have great readers supporting these significant publications.
Technology writers have a home for their tech stories on topics such as artificial intelligence. And prolific writers can host their additional stories in ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR.
My publications support over 18,000 writers on Medium. With the support of 115 volunteer editors, we always give them clear guidance to comply with the rules of this platform and gain optimal experience for success. I also created a free virtual platform bringing 14K+ writers to collaborate using Slack.
Writing is a big topic and a comprehensive tag on Medium.
I enjoy writing about writing to help beginners. My contributions made me a top writer in writing for a long time. I haven’t lost the top writer status in writing as I keep posting essential and valuable content about this topic regularly.
Writing is not only a cognitive skill, but it is also therapeutic for me.
Even better, you can make a living by writing. I guided how to triple your writing income. I also shared one of my books on Medium to get writers started with affiliate marketing and earn passive income. Many writers learned how to use social media meaningfully by using our extended services.
I am inspired to pen this post after many new and aspiring writers asked me whether we have a resource to get them started writing on Medium. Also, some writers come from the blogging world and want to learn about storytelling. These stories can be great examples for them.
This post is a quick start. I aim to jump-start those writers and give them a resource to connect with experienced writers and learn from their experience.
In this post, I give you a quick taste of stories about writing on SYNERGY. Of course, there are thousands of stories, but I selected a small number of stories from my reading list.
I love reading about the experiences of these excellent writers. Each story is unique and gave me different perspectives. In addition, the writing styles of these writers are fascinating. We all can learn from them.
These are not ordinary stories. Most of these remarkable stories were curated by Medium and distributed to multiple topics such as #writing #freelancing #books #creativity #money #productivity #mindfulness #work #art #business #leadership #startups and many more topics. SYNERGY is the most curated publication among the other six because most writers are very experienced in writing and editing.
