I write and I am an Editor for Illumination

I’m Lawson Wallace, I’m a writer and Editor for Illumination and Reader’s Hope. When I look back at the articles I wrote when I started writing on Medium, I shake my head.

I was a terrible writer, at least that’s what I thought. The turning point for me, was when Illumination accepted me as a writer. Before Illumination, I had no clue how to write an article that was readable or engaging.

I know I drove the Editors nuts, but a funny thing happened. I learned how to write readable content. I learned by writing and submitting often.

I write and submit two or three times a week, sometimes more. The reads and claps for my stories have increased and so have my followers.

“ No man is an Island.” I would not have grown as a writer if it wasn’t for the writers and editors for Illumination. I have benefited from their mentorship. I’m looking forward to helping other writers grow.

I want to encourage new writers. I want to help them be the best writers they can be, like the writers and editors of Illumination helped me.
