ILLUMINATION LOGO

I want to start my bulletin showing my gratitude and thanking 36 writers who took the writing challenge and gave us a fantastic opportunity to explore their best stories. MaryJo Wagner, PhD, Gary Stroschein, Tree Langdon, Jill Reid, Michele Thill, Chowa Sekai, B. A. Cumberlidge., Daniella Mini, Bill Abbate, Stephen Dalton, Samantha Buck, Jeff Hanlon, Agnes Laurens, Kenneth Johnson, Jill Reid, Tyler Piteo-Tarpy, Jaye Frances, Diane Lee, Anna da Silva, Alison Tennent, Øivind H. Solheim, Jennifer Geer, Eli Snow, Infiniti, Elisabeth Khan, Sowmya Sridhar, Aurora Eliam, CMP, R Tsambounieri Talarantas, Robert Locke, Ravyne Hawke, Karen Madej, Dr. Jackie Greenwood, Evan Wolfson, Isabela Vasiliu, Ahmed Jamal, Sharon Hurley Hall

Please check their fabulous stories from the attached link and consider starting your second challenge with the available material in this story. Those who haven’t seen the second challenge can find it in my bulletin released yesterday.

Talking of the second challenge, I created a sample story to give you an idea for the expectation. I selected stories of Bill Abbate, which can be found in the attached link.

Congratulations to Tree Langdon ♾️ who pioneered the second challenge by reviewing stories of Jennifer Geer, who is an insightful writer of our publication.

I noticed that around 50% of our writers added their twitter handle to Medium. This is a fantastic achievement. My goal is 100%, but some of our writers don’t want to use Twitter. I respect their choices. I do my best to bring traffic to our stories and increase the visibility of our writers.

For those who are new to our publication, I created a Twitter List exclusive to ILLUMINATION writers. We have 400+ writers who are added to this list as members. You can start following them and sharing their stories. Please also follow the list so that you can see stories of these writers on Twitter. Retweeting stories can cause serendipity.

What did ILLUMINATION writers create today?

Here is a bundle of stories that I was able to add to our distribution list today. Thank you for adding comments to create visibility to your great stories.

One of the purposes of this daily distribution is to access to our stories easily. You can read and share them easily. You can follow the writers. I recommend enjoying as many stories as possible from this list. If your story is not included, please leave a comment by linking your story. As of publication team, we do our best, but it must be a collective effort. To this end, it will be excellent for each writer to take responsibility to create visibility for his or her own story. Please remember tweeting the stories you read. We grow with support, synergy, and collaboration.

Let’s check our publication page for more stories. Many more stories can be found from our publication page.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW WRITERS: To ensure your stories are published on a timely basis, please provide required credits to the photos and extracted information from other sources. This is the most common issue delaying some stories to be published. If you turn off your private messages we have no other mechanism to reach out to you. If your article is not published within 48 hours please contact me from this link.

I received several inquiries from new writers who want to know how to add stories to publication. Please see the attached story providing step by step guidance by our editor Timothy Key.

ILLUMINATION Slack Channel

We created a writer collaboration platform using Slack. We have 392 members. I added several writers to our Slack channel today. Thank you for the inquires and willingness to join our collaboration and innovation lab. New writers are invited to join our Slack to have a chat and collaborate with other inspiring writers. We discuss editorial matters, Medium policies, content quality, and overall writing skills improvement. You can request an invitation to Slack from this link. Please type Request for Slack on the heading as I have many other requests from this link.

Stories Distributed from ILLUMINATION to Medium Topics

Five great stories were distributed to multiple Medium topics today. Each story is unique and well crafted. I felt privileged to have early access to these great stories on our publication. Each day audience from new topics come across ILLUMINATION represented by its creative writers.

A story by Akash Ray was distributed to #programming.

A story by Kenneth Johnson was distributed to #art #history.

A story by Nadine Clay, M.Ed. was distributed to #education #psychology.

A story by Noah Simonich was distributed to #history.

A poem by Caitlin Ju was distributed to #poetry.

As ILLUMINATION hosts an impressive number of high-quality stories distributed to the topics from our creative writers, I compiled those stories. I aim to create awareness for the high-quality stories so that our new writers can leverage these excellent stories, model the styles so that they can improve their stories for increasing chance of curation by Medium curators. You can find the complete list from the attached story. I update it regularly.

Content Quality Focus

Our current writers know that we strive for excellence. We aim to increase the quality of your stories and provide an enjoyable reading experience to our followers. Quality is an iterative process. I notice that the quality of our stories is increasing day by day. The curation rate increased.

New writers: please ensure that you check your stories for typos, spelling, and grammar errors before submitting them to the publication. Our readers deserve high quality stories.

We have some volunteering editors who can perform a proof-reading for the writers from the non-English speaking background. You can search for volunteers from our Slack channel. One of the proof-reading tools our writers recommend is Grammarly.
