Writer’s Nirvana
Illumination and Illumination-Curated
Encouraging writers to dream big is unusual in the publishing world.
Illumination and Illumination-Curated are two publications that emphasize writers’ success. With a team of highly skilled editors, led by a man with great vision, when you submit to Illumination or Illumination Curated, you have found a home.
Dr. Mehmet Yildiz created his publication to build readership, to mentor writers at any level, and to flourish on the Medium platform. In only six months, Illumination rose to the 12th most sought after publication. And in turn, he determined that a present need to lift great writers to the top was dire.
When I first began writing for Illumination, I could not believe the positive feedback of the editorial staff. They wanted me to succeed! They applauded, they commented, gave pertinent advice to improve my writing, and honored me by publishing work of which I gave my heart and soul.
And you are no different. Illumination invites anyone to join the publication, and if your writing meets the criteria of Medium’s curation guidelines, your story will be eligible for consideration by Illumination- Curated.
The steps are simple. Dr. Yildiz explains in the article below.
The Evolution of Illumination-Curated
With precision and genius, Dr. Yildiz recognized that many stories that met Medium’s Curation Guidelines were falling by the wayside, lost in algorithms, and an abundance of submissions.
The answer was simple. Illumination created their own curation publication! High-quality articles on Medium that slipped through the cracks are now recognized, showcased, and shine in the limelight while bypassing all the red tape behind Medium’s curation process.
Here is an example of one successful writer whose curated work led to a hefty surprise!
The Editorial Staff
The editorial staff diligently worked to make this new publication come to fruition. At the same time, editors assist and guide writers at any level.
Illumination is a place of cross-pollination that features an array of subjects with the incentive to help writers advance. There is no other publication similar to Illumination in all of Medium and beyond.
Of course, the writer must be open to constructive feedback, avoid plagiarism, and be willing to improve if they are asked. It is a win-win for everybody.
Hop on board, respond to the Illumination’s invitation, and you will find a writer’s community aligned to help each other. Furthermore, Illumination offers a Slack Channel, a YouTube feed, a space on Quora, and more.
Many of Illumination’s stories have become viral sensations. And that means what? More money, more recognition, and newfound confidence you will gain from becoming a member of these exciting publications.
