Success rules for new writers
We want to provide you with the essential rules so you know our expectations and act accordingly.
Our readers demand quality materials. Meeting this demand is the critical success factor for you.
1 — Submit only your best work for our readers.
Your stories must be the type of content that you want to read.
2 — Caption your copyright-free photos with source links.
This is one of the most time consuming and stressful situation for our publication. Our editors are tired of writing a myriad of comments and wait for responses from writers.
3 — Do not submit plagiarized material.
We only accept stories written by you. Medium does not accept plagiarism, and it is illegal in the industry. ILLUMINATION has zero-tolerance for plagiarized submissions. Our editors have expertise in detecting plagiarism by using different methods and various tools.
Please see the attached article for our position and details.
4 — Submit only one story a day.
Considering contributions from 5,700 writers, it is not possible to cater to multiple submissions from each writer.
We allow our prolific and experienced writers to submit up to three drafts within 24 hours. Since they submit high-quality materials, we don’t have to spend too much time on these types of submissions.
However, until aspiring writers improve their writing skills and gain acceptance by readers, some new writers are recommended to submit only one story a day. Especially writers who cannot handle the fundamentals mentioned in the points stated above that clearly state our guidelines to only submit one item in a day.
5 — Respond to your private messages.
Medium allows communication between publications and writers only via private messages. If your private messages were turned off, you would not receive a notification. Please check your story for * sign, which indicates a private message. This sign can usually be on the upper part of your story. Editors may request you to fix an issue in your story. Please acknowledge and address the issue in a timely manner. We cannot hold stories for more than 24 hours in our queue. If no response is provided, we will return the story.
6 — Learn about the platform rules and expectations of your audience.
We are working on a large and complex platform. I touched on the publication rules, but the platform rules are critical too. All writers must learn the rules of the platform and get to know their audience.
You can find the details for these six items in the attached article.
Please check these simplified the rules for new writers.
In terms of platform rules, many new writers benefited from this story. This story focuses on fundamentals and some advanced topics for writers.
