Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Curated Collection
In this edition, we proudly showcase a meticulously curated selection of over 40 engaging stories for February 2024, designed to inspire both avid readers and aspiring writers alike. This compilation was made possible through the nominations of our chief editor, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, and boost nominator Aiden from Illumination Gaming, with the assistance of our dedicated consulting editors at ILLUMINATION Publications.
“This compilation is a testament to the exceptional quality of narratives that we are proud to highlight.”
Section 1.1: Benefits of Boosted Stories
These boosted stories are recognized by Medium as standout pieces, making them invaluable for our readers. Non-members can access selected stories for free via our special friend link. We encourage sharing these links to broaden our readership.
Subsection 1.1.1: Joining Our Community
Section 1.2: Support for New Writers
We invite aspiring writers to consider joining our community. As articulated by Dr. Yildiz, a mere $5 monthly subscription to Medium can fast-track your journey to building an audience while also supporting your fellow writers. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Chapter 2: The Evolution of ILLUMINATION-Curated
As of October 2023, our publication has begun nominating stories for boosting, aligning our publishing strategy with Medium's new direction for 2024. For insights on this transition, readers can refer to an interview with Dr. Mehmet Yildiz conducted by our editorial team.
The first video, titled "Rattled Awake V5 Book Release BLAST OFF YAYday Pop-Up," offers a glimpse into our vibrant community and the exciting works being shared.
Section 2.1: Criteria for Submission
New writers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with our submission guidelines. Unlike our other publications, ILLUMINATION-Curated focuses on experienced writers to meet the expectations of our dedicated readership. If you think your work aligns with our vision, please reach out to Dr. Yildiz via our Slack workspace for further assistance.
Section 2.2: Enhancing Visibility for Non-Boosted Stories
Despite the challenges posed by Medium's stringent boosting criteria, we are committed to showcasing thousands of high-quality stories. Our editorial team actively curates collections to highlight these narratives across various platforms.
The second video, "Nolvus Ascension - Skyrim Modlist Review Part One: Transforming Skyrim into a Masterpiece!" dives into the creative processes that enrich our storytelling landscape.
Supporting Friends of Medium Subscribers
One of our primary goals is to create tailored collections that benefit Friends of Medium. These dedicated supporters contribute significantly to the livelihoods of our writers. Dr. Yildiz has articulated the value of this program through various narratives, underscoring its importance in fostering a vibrant literary community.
Chapter 3: Conclusion and Future Directions
We look forward to the stories from our new writers, and we remain committed to selecting impactful narratives for our publications. We are excited to grow our community and continue showcasing diverse voices that resonate with our audience.
Thank you for engaging with our boosted stories from ILLUMINATION-Curated, and we invite you to explore our rich tapestry of narratives and insights.
