We Need More Volunteer Editors
If you meet the set of criteria and have time to contribute, we look forward to your applications.
Purpose of the Story
Dear Writers,
ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications are growing rapidly, serving 19,000+ plus writers.
With the addition of new publications and more writers, we need more editors to help publish stories of our writers promptly and delight our readers with fresh content.
You might find the links to our publications in the following list.

Our 115 editors are volunteers.
As you may know, publications don’t earn any income on Medium. The expenses are covered by the owner of the publications. We face a lot of challenges.
Since the Medium platform has limited support for large publications, I have to shoulder the administrative cost of incurring the additional services we provide.
This is fine for me at this stage as it is a giveback activity I delightfully offer to our community. I enjoy my investment in the publication as long as writers and readers are happy with our services.
Invitation to Apply for Editorial Positions
If you want to contribute to our writers and readers by publishing stories, you can show your interest as a response to this post and directly approach me on our Slack workspace.
Talking of Slack, it is the prerequisite for editors to be on Slack as we run our publishing operation via Slack workspace. Without using this tool, it is almost impossible to deal with so many writers.
Using the private message feature on Medium is limited and causes delays in publishing.
Criteria for Editorial Role
The set of criteria to become an editor for ILLUMINATION, ILLUMINATION-Curated, and Technology Hits:
1 — Excellent writing, reading, and interpersonal skills in English.
2 — Being an MPP member.
3 — Having published at least 10 stories in our publications.
4 — Being a member of our Slack workspace.
5 — To have empathy and compassion for writers, especially for new writers.
6 — Being able to use Grammarly and other language tools.
7— Being able to use plagiarism detection software. We have zero tolerance for plagiarism.
8 — Making a commitment of publishing at least ten stories from the submission queus per day.
The reason we added item #8 as a prerequisite is that some writers stopped contributing after they got the editorial privilege and used it for publishing their own stories. We remove non-contributing editors.
We provide training and mentoring for items 6 and 7. We have our internal processes, and our editors can bring you up to speed very quickly.
First of all, you will need to have a lot of patience.
Secondly, you will be supporting many writers who require help, some because English is not their first language, others because they are venturing along a new path and are naive about writing for publication.
Thirdly you will be a detective, weeding out stories that have been copied from other writers, YouTube videos, and all manner of other sources.
To top all that, you will get to read a wide variety of submissions that will delight, educate, and sometimes surprise you!
