Success stories for ILLUMINATION Writers
Curated Collection #9: Something Special for Poetry
Cross-pollinating writers to create synergy and value

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. — Jimmy Dean
Editorial and Adminsitrative Update
I compiled our essential documents in a roadmap so that they can be accessed easily. This can be a useful document for our new writers. It is like the roadmap to our growing publication. You can book mark this story for future reference. It can save you time.
We now have an onboarding pack for writers. This piece covers the important points to be a successful writer on Medium.
Clarification for writers who want to re-join ILLUMINATION
Sometimes dealing with noise and distractions can be challenging. There appears to be some meaningless campaign against our publication from a Medium publication.
I respect people to share their views and opinions openly but turning it to an ugly social media campaign is unethical. It doesn’t bother me personally; however, I want writers who are affected by this campaign to be cautious and not to be provoked by those who create allegations.
We are Medium members hence need to adhere to policies 100%. We need to keep Medium a peaceful and enjoyable platform. This is a collaborative environment, not a competitive environment. I believe that those who collaborate can win, those who compete (especially aggressively) will lose.
To help our writers, I created this story.
However, I received several messages from writers who left ILLUMINATION asking whether they can come back. My answer is yes, certainly. I have empathy and compassion for our writers. No hard feelings from my end! You can request access from this link, and I will add you as a writer.
You are always welcome. Diversity and inclusiveness are our core values. Within my capability, I am committed to doing my best for each writer to succeed. Our editors are also very supportive. Their focus is your success. You can meet our editors and connect with them to ask for assistance.
Action for Poets
I have a lot of positive feedback about our poets. Some readers say that they find the best poetry on ILLUMINATION.
Some of our poetry pieces even are distributed to topics.
Some readers have their favorite poets, and they want to read their collection.
I want to help our poets to gain better visibility to the readers.
We have a large reader group interested in poetry. They are after original and stylish pieces.
My suggestion is you can compile all your poetry in a single story by linking them. Then you can submit it to the publication as a draft story. This new story will be your master copy. You can categorize them by themes or topics.
All you need to do is add your new poems to that single file, and it will keep my file up-to-date. So you submit one master copy to publication.
I will add them to our poetry collection and distribute it in our newsletter.
I want to standardize the collection using the following naming convention.
Kicker — Poetry Collection on ILLUMINATION
Title — Poetry by [insert your name]
Subtitle —[Use your preferred themes or topics]
If you are on Slack, you can add it to our #projects channels where I can collect them. You can also tag me but tagging is not a reliable method as sometimes I receive notifications days after. Therefore the best way is to share them via Slack. We have 461 writers collaborating so you can join too by requesting access from this link.
Accelerating YouTube Initiative
Another initiative is accelerating YouTube presence for writers.
Our readers want to meet our writers. They want to see their faces and hear their voices. We have a platform ready.
All you need to do is to create a five-minute video to introduce yourself.
