5 Reasons Why Illumination Works For Writers

Helping Illumination helps writers to blossom

Actually there are a great many reasons why Illumination works such as; having a dedicated visionary leader in the form of Dr Mehmet Yildiz, a great mission statement of inclusivity which encompasses fusion, synergy, serendipity and diversity, and an amazing team of editors helping to support this dream platform.

To that incredible list we can add the characteristics of reciprocity and eclecticism. And to top it all Dr Yildiz's promise to empower writers to create knowing that they have a fantastic, realistic opportunity to reach a growing public audience.

1.The Opportunity To Write With Encouragement and Support

All that being said, I have taken an individual writer's perspective, a narrower more self-interested view if you like, and it is as follows. First and foremost what every writer worthy of the title 'writer' wants is to write. More than that a writers wants encouragement and support for his or her desire to write and to grow as a writer.

And I am delighted to be a part of a team that does it's level best to provide that encouragement and support, not only in terms of individual feedback when a piece of writing is submitted, but also in terms of initiatives to grow in terms of editorial articles AND dedicated Slack channels to allow writers to have contact with the editorial team as well as fellow writers.

2. A Professional High Production Value Platform

Second, the right tools for the job. Pre modern technology, in the days of pen and paper, if I was writing a shopping list or memo, any old scrap of paper such as the back of an envelope would do. But if I was wanting to write something worthwhile such as a poem or article, I wanted the nicest pen and best paper I could afford.

Here on Illumination we have an amazing array of tools which allow us to achieve a level professional content production values. It all starts with a blank page, just like paper, except it isn't using double or cursive writing as we used to call it, it is using a direct to print font. And from that we can add photographs and illustrations plus all manner of editing trickery with a great editor to make our work look just like it would, or even better than it would, in a glossy magazine.

3.Getting Your Writings Published

what a writer wants is to see his or her written works published and put in front of an appreciative audience. But it gets better than that. For here on Illumination the audience are allowed to interact with the creators, to give feedback in the form of claps and commentary. This is a writers dream. Like all creators of just about anything, or workers beavering away in an office or factory for that matter, we all want a pat on the back and a "Well done" comment.

4.Promotion and Marketing

Here at Illumination we take promotion and marketing seriously and very much so. We have a regular readers digest for both Illumination and Illumination Curated. This digest is provided to our readers highlighting the best pieces of writing that pass through our hands. This helps to widen the writer's potential audience and ensures a steady growth of a readership.

Marketing wise Dr Yildiz has written a series of articles explaining in great detail how to market your writings on other platforms off of Illumination. Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Quora. they are all well worth using to promote your work and your brand as a writer.

5.Financial Recompense

And apart from all of the above, to a lesser or greater degree, a writer would like to be financially recompensed for his writings.Here on Illumination every single writer has the potential to generate an income of sorts. It may only be a supplement to his or her other sources of income in the real, none digital world, or it could indeed be grown to be a more than attractive stand alone salary. It lis all down to how much effort you put in to your writing.

In conclusion, Illumination provides everything any aspiring writer needs to reach their desired objective, which is to succeed. There is absolutely no reason at all that I can see how you cannot be the success you want to be if you really are determined enough and you are prepared to put the effort in.

Below I have provided an indispensable link to a series of professionally written and produced articles by some of our best and most successful writers and editors. It is a tome compiled and written by myself, more than ably edited by fellow writer and editor Tree Langdon, CPA, CGA.
