Introducing “Myself” as an Editor for Illumination
Giving back to the community that nurtured me as a writer
I joined medium in April 2020. Within a few days, I joined Illumination and was welcomed by their remarkable team. What are the main characteristics that made this team so extraordinary?
If I start writing about their commitment and support, it is going to take me forever. Here I will just highlight the most important trait of Dr. Mehmet’s team.
They give everyone a chance to prove their worth. No matter who you are where you are from you get to have your say here at Illumination, the only rule is to follow Medium's pre-defined rules and regulations.
They support your work and help you reach out to the highest number of readers.
A little about my journey
I have been a regular writer on medium with at least 20 curated stories in 15 different genres. This would not have been possible without the consistent support and guidance from my friends and colleagues at illumination.
I write for over 20 different publications but my first steps towards this journey were possible only through Illumination.
The support and guidance I received from illumination kept me going and now I have a chance to do the same for new writers joining our publication.
Giving back to my writer’s community
“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands — one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” — Audrey Hepburn. ..
I felt honored when Dr. Mehmet asked me to join his team as an editor. I always considered myself a part of the illumination team but joining them as an editor and volunteering to give back to the writer's community is the most amazing experience.
“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.” ― Denzel Washington
