New Curation Service by ILLUMINATION — Volume 1
Chosen stories from passionate writers for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
We’ve been quite busy since August. The last collection was posted on 20th July. We appreciate your understanding of being unable to curate stories. Changes in Medium’s distribution strategy led to a heavy workload, and we had to adapt our processes and submission guidelines to fit the new strategy. And now, reviewing stories takes longer than before.
Thanks to the hard work of many volunteers, we’ve updated all our submission guidelines to benefit our writers and provide engaging, memorable, and impactful stories for our readers. We encourage writers to review them as there are significant changes. For example, ILLUMINATION does not publish every type of story anymore. We explained the reasons.
We’re thrilled that our special publication, ILLUMINATION-Curated, got recognized as a boost nominating pub. However, Medium currently limits us to nominate only 20 stories per month due to the beta stage of the boost program. Considering we serve over 24,000 writers and publish around 1,000 stories weekly, this limit poses a challenge.
You can learn about our boosting services from the attached interview scripts that we conducted with with Dr Mehmet…
