ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications strive to be inclusive and diverse, supporting 18,000+ contributors. Different levels of writers, from absolute beginners to the most accomplished ones, delight our readers with their informative and engaging content.
One of our goals for these collections is to help the writers build a larger audience by creating visibility for their profiles and stories.
We encourage collaboration by cross-pollinating all levels of writers with readers. Therefore, these collections include stories of accomplished writers and beginners.
ILLUMINATION editors posted a new newsletter providing update on our progress. The key points are posting one story a day and submitting quality stories that do not consume too much time of our editors.
If you are not member to Medium, you can read it on Substack and subscribe to our free newsletter.

The key point for new contributors is to review the onboarding pack, as it includes publication-specific information for a smooth transition. We 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 the rejection of stories.
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.
