Nutrition: Curated Stories — Volume 1
Featuring well-crafted stories that can be amplified in our new publication, ILLUMINATION’s Nutrition

Dear Readers and Writers,
As ILLUMINATION editors announced earlier, we now have a volunteer and nomination-based curation service. Boosted stories are doing well, but 99% of great stories hardly gain visibility. Of course, Medium can’t boost all great stories due to excessive numbers.
However, writers pour their hearts and souls, and stories don’t have any views, even from the followers of writers or publications. We don’t know the reasons. But September’s income drop seems to relate to fraudulent activity on Medium, as discussed in a story by Mike Broadly titled Here’s What Seems to Happen to Medium Last Week.
Out of 142 volunteer editors, our team of around 50 volunteer curators developed a new service idea to address the visibility of stories. Each curator nominates a few stories from their reading list daily, and our lead ILLUMINATION-Curators compile them into collections like this one for our readers.
Additionally, we put them in a LIST, a fantastic Medium feature. Feel free to save, share on social media, link to your stories, and comment and like the list for increased visibility. These lists will be created monthly, and here’s our first list for your engagement. The entire curation process takes up much of our volunteers’ time, so we will appreciate your support as your time allows.
We’re pleased that our special publication, ILLUMINATION-Curated, got recognized as a boost nominating pub. However, Medium currently limits us to nominate only 20 stories per month due to the beta stage of the boost program. Considering we serve over 24,000 writers and publish around 1,000 stories weekly, this limit poses a challenge.
You can learn about our boosting services from the attached interview scripts that we conducted with with Dr Mehmet Yildiz last week.

This special collection introduces some well-crafted and informative stories about nutrition, diet, and food. We chose this topic today to launch a new publication called ILLUMINATION’s Nutrition.

Surekha introduced the publication in a recent story.
If you are interested, you can reach out to Surekha on this story showing your interest, or you may send your Medium ID to our regular writer registration portal, as this publication is part of the ILLUMINATION network, so our administrators can give you access to it.
Our editor Aiden (Illumination Gaming) wrote a humorous story about it. We believe you will enjoy this story about this special publication.
