We are delighted several writers joined our publications. We welcome them using these collections and introduce them to our readers and contributors.

Daily Communication for Writers

We received several inquiries about unusually dropped stats both for views and reading times in the last few days. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this problem. Hopefully, it is a glitch and can be fixed soon.

ILLUMINATION posted a bulletin inviting writers to an event organized by one of our top writers Sinem Günel. You might check the details in the attached story. It sounds like a valuable event for writers.

Attention New Writers

Thank you for joining our publications. We included the introduction to new writers and writer-related stories at the end of this post. Please review Master Copy: Onboarding New Writers before submitting your stories. We look forward to them.

Let’s welcome the new contributors who joined us recently and support their content. ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications are proud to add new contributors daily and support their content. Each writer diversifies our collections.

The key point 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 #133.

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.

We accepts both draft and self-published stories. However, 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.
