Meet new writers joined when this collection originally prepared by ILLUMINATION editors
Let’s welcome these relatively new writers and explore their stories by clicking on the profile links below. Most of them already contribute to our publications.
Collaboration between writers and readers is a success factor on Medium.
TBA
The key consideration for new contributors is to review the onboarding pack quickly, as it includes publication-specific information for a smooth transition. I attached it below.
As a benefit of fast publishing, your stories will start earning income and finding more readers quickly.
Please caption your photos and ensure that that they are not copyrighted: either belong to you or from free sources. Not captioning and using copyrighted photos waste our editors’ precious time and cause delays in publishing your stories.
Please Note that not captioning images and using copyrighted photos will lead to rejection of stories.
ILLUMINATION provided guidance to new writers on collection #128.
We are sorry for the publishing delays. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Your stories will be published eventually.
You may also consider self-publishing as we accept them. However, draft submissions might bring more readers so it is up to you.
ILLUMINATION publications accepts both draft and self-published stories. But, editors give priority to drafts as these stories need to find readers waiting in the queue for a while.
Let’s Meet Our Editors Who Publish These Stories
The following stories cover the profiles of our volunteer editors.
These volunteer editors are the ones reviewing and publishing the stories in these collections. They are from various time zones clearing the publication queue on their precious time daily.
