Dear new writers,

Welcome to ILLUMINATION writers and readers community!

Apologies for the delay in this correspondence as Medium experienced some bugs, which removed all writers from significant publications a few days ago. The problem created an additional workload for our team. We are pleased that Medium resolved the issue timely.

It is a pleasure for us to add you to our publications as contributing writers.

Thank you for joining our publications: ILLUMINATION, ILLUMINATION-Curated, ILLUMINATION’ S MIRROR , Technology Hits, and SYNERGY.

We hope you will enjoy networking with our large writing and reading community on Medium. Our publications run on Medium and comply with the platform rules and policies of Medium. All writers must follow the rules of Medium to remain contributing writers of our publications.

We introduced a new policy for handling photos as it is the most common issue for new writers. Please review this policy and submit your stories accordingly. Following copyright rules is essential for all contributors.

We don’t accept plagiarized content or stories with copyrighted photos.

Medium currently supports only 30 editors per publication. We have 66 editors however not all of them have access to ILLUMINATION due to the constraints of Medium. To cover our large workload, we created a mirror version of ILLUMINATION and allocated new editors to support the workload. You can submit your additional stories to this new publication.

Please see details in this story about ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR.

Recommendations to new contributors

Our readers expect quality content.

We strive to meet readers’ expectation thus we encourage our writers to submit quality content.

Please check our resources. You can find ILLUMINATION related articles and writer resources on ILLUMINATION Blog publication. Please bookmark and follow this new publication designed to address your publishing needs.

ILLUMINATION Blog

This publication holds all stories related to ILLUMINATION, ILLUMINATION-Curated, and ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR

We redesigned the ILLUMINATION front page. We removed all publication related articles and hosted them in a blog publication. Our goal is to give more space to the stories of our writers. Details of the update can be found in this post.

Specific Actions

1 — Please submit your best work for readers.

Your stories must be the type of content that you want to read.

2 — Caption [copyright-free photos] with source links.

This is a common concern. In fact, it is one of the most time consuming and stressful situation for our editors. Editors are tired of leaving comments and waiting for responses from writers who neglect captioning photos.

All photos must be caption with source links.

We recommend using copyright-free photos e.g. stock photos from unsplash.com or pixabay.com. If you add your own photos please clearly explain the copyright status.

Please review our new policy for guidance.

This policy is now implemented.

3 — Our publications don’t accept plagiarized content.

We only accept stories written by you.

Medium does not accept plagiarism and duplication. Plagiarism is an illegal act and duplication is against Medium rules.

Our publications have zero-tolerance for plagiarized materials. Our editors diligently monitor and detect plagiarism and duplication by using different methods and various tools.

Our position is detailed in this article. In a nutshell, we remove writers submitting plagiarized content.

Zero tolerance to plagiarism on ILLUMINATION

4 — [As a new writer], please submit one or two stories a day.

Considering contributions from thousands of writers, it is not possible to cater to multiple submissions from each writer.

However, our experienced and prolific and experienced writers can submit up to three drafts within 24 hours to ILLUMINATION and ILLUMINATION-Curated. Since they submit high-quality materials, we don’t have to spend too much time on these types of submissions. We are grateful.

Due to current editorial limitations by Medium, we created a new publication to load balance ILLUMINATION. If you write multiple stories, you can submit one to ILLUMINATION and the rest to ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR.

Until new writers improve their writing skills and gain acceptance by readers, we recommend them to submit only one story a day. This restriction is for writers who are not familiar with the fundamentals yet.

We are accepting short-form stories. We allow additional three short-form stories per publication. Details are in this story.
