An introduction and information request from ILLUMINATION's top writers
We just have to have visibility. We have to have acknowledgement. We have to have accountability to how we treat one another. — Zachary Quinto
Being a top writer on Medium is important to grow an audience. The platform has great features to support top writers.
Previously, I wrote about the key points to becoming a top writer on Medium. Those who missed the article can find it at the following link.
How to Become a Top Writer in Three Months on Medium
Introduction
Medium has a useful feature to recognize top writers.
The status can be seen on your profile page.
I want to show you three profiles whom I follow as top writers.
For example, one of our writers Paul Myers MBA has several top writer items in his profile. The profile page shows that Paul is a top writer in #Ideas, #Future, #Reading, #Leadership, #Innovation, and #Business topics.
The second example is Sharon Hurley Hall, who is a top writer on #diversity and #BlackLivesMatter topics.
The third is Rob Hourmont who is a top writer in #food, #health, #life lessons, #life, # self-improvement, #travel, and #mentalhealth.
These examples show that each writer covers different topics.
If I am a reader interested in #leadership, I may check Paul’s profile, in #diversity, I may try Sharon’s profile, or in #health, I may try Rob’s profile.
There are some benefits of having a top writer status.
This status can give an idea to your readers of the focus areas in your writing practice.
For example, since Paul is a top writer in #leadership, his article submitted to our publication today is now trending in the top 10 list in the leadership tag.
Since I am a top writer in #writing, my editorial bulletin related to the success of our writers is trending in the writing tag.
There are various focus areas to be a top writer in a specific tag.
One of the factors to gaining top writer status is submitting stories on a specific topic that has a high engagement rate. So, the use of tags and your fans may play an important role in gaining top writer status.
You also need to write content that your readers enjoy. Here is some guidance.
And the fastest way to become a top writer is to write a viral story. Here is some guidance to give you tips.
Aiden (Illumination Gaming) summarized this in a YouTube video.
Being a prolific writer can make you a top writer eventually.

We also have a useful writing challenge including ten compelling prompts.
Purpose and required action from the top writers
We have many top writers among 19,000+ contributors writing for ILLUMINATION.
