ILLUMINATION Book Chapters
Editorial Bulletin #8 Connection, Visibility, Collaboration, Promotion

Dear Book Lovers,
We created a digital library made up of book chapters from many accomplished authors. It is called ILLUMINATION Book Chapters. They have already submitted many chapters for your enjoyment. The library is growing with contributions each day. There are always fresh chapters.
I appreciated your valuable positive feedback in our pulse survey. For new readers and authors, you can learn about our initiative on this link.
In this bulletin, I want to provide a quick update on our progress.
We created an index of book chapters and adding links to it each day. This index will help you to find your favorite authors and access their books easily and quickly.
Authors now can share links to their book chapters on Quora.
Welcome new authors who joined our team recently.

Recommendations to Authors
Connection, Visibility, Collaboration, Promotion
You create excellent content but you need your audience to find you. Networking is vital for authors. I suggest you connect with other contributors and commence meaningful conversations. You can meet them in our Slack workspace and chat publicly or privately. You can also promote your books in a particular channel. Our Slack workspace have over 7,000 members.
Visibility is very important on Medium. Submitting an author bio to one of our publications can bring new readers to your content. All our publications are integrated and managed by the same group of editors.
I recommend a summary of your book in a story format and submit it to either ILLUMINATION. You have writer access. You can also create a short form of your story and submit it to ILLUMINATION-Curated.
All writers of ILLUMINATION Book Chapters are eligible to submit their stories directly to our curated collection.
I recommend authors review chapters of other authors. This activity can improve cross-pollination among contributors. Book reviews can also inform our readers.
We established a collaboration group on Goodreads. As you know, this site is massive, bringing authors and book lovers in one place. I recommend you to join our group and meet our members.
https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1133647-illumination-writers-on-medium---collaboration-group
52 authors, who also write on Medium, have already joined our collaboration group. You can introduce your books to group members and share your Goodreads profiles. Goodreads is an excellent site to socialize meaningfully.
Value of ILLUMINATION Book Chapters
We offer three unique values to writers.
1 — Published authors can gain new readers via their repurposed book chapters. They can also earn income from their published content on their Medium.
2 — Published authors can gain new followers and beta readers who can provide feedback for their manuscripts.
3 — Aspiring writers can gain create manuscripts derived from their published stories. They can transfer them into the ILLUMINATION Book Chapters, obtain reader reviews, and publish them as books later.
Let me share some great chapters submitted to ILLUMINATION Book Chapters. We are building this service rapidly.

Testimonials for ILLUMINATION Book Chapters
Maria Rattray
If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade. So let me introduce to you, one window of opportunity! If everyone on Illumination is as excited as I am, this most recent innovation of Dr Mehmet Yildiz should go off like a rocket.
The Garrulous Glaswegian
I‘ve just come upon a new and intriguing proposition. In its first year, ILLUMINATION gained an incredible 90,000 followers, making it one of the fastest-growing and most successful publications on Medium. You can learn more about that in Dew Langrial ’s piece here. Dr Yildiz has a busy, inventive mind, and is always looking for clever ideas to support writers. Enter his latest project ILLUMINATION Book Chapters.
Britni Pepper
ILLUMINATION is breaking new ground here. With the introduction of ILLUMINATION Book Chapters, a longer, richer, and deeper reading experience becomes available on Medium. Our new publication has nothing but longform stories, divided up into chapters. Here the writers spread out their biggest and best work, and readers can immerse themselves in the experience, coming up to draw the occasional breath of the everyday world when it’s time to click on the link to the next chapter.
Dr Preeti Singh
Illumination has the policy of inclusivity. Dr. Mehmet Yildiz is very clear that everybody should get a chance to publish their stories. People from all walks of life, different countries, nationalities are welcome to this family. Those who do not have English as their first language are also given a chance to express their views and can be mentored with the support of editors. This publication is also inclusive. It gives us all a chance to express something.
Karen Madej
Hello lovelies, this week is all about my favourite, FICTION! A special edition today to celebrate the launch of a new ILLUMINATION family publication. If you haven’t spotted Dr Mehmet Yildiz’s ILLUMINATION Book Chapters publication invitation yet, I suggest you give it a read.
Linda Kowalchek
“I have wanted to write a book since I was a teenager. I remember sitting at the desk in my bedroom with my powder-blue plastic Smith Corona manual typewriter in front of me. I was ready. But then I realized that I had no idea what to write about, so I went back downstairs and watched Luke and Laura’s wedding on General Hospital. But I digress.
Jay Toran
“For all those who’ve jumped the gun and started typing their first chapters into the laptop, you’ve got to understand a few things: And it goes back to the same problem of editors having a limited amount of time. No amount of frenzied typing is going to get around this problem. I’m not an editor, but I’ve done some editing for a couple of the big names here on ILLUMINATION.
