Written on
Chapter 1: Celebrating Accomplished Writers
Dear authors,
We extend our heartfelt congratulations for your remarkable stories that have been curated. We are thrilled to showcase your achievements. Our audience is eager for more exceptional narratives, and we believe they will appreciate your work as much as we do.
To enhance the exposure of your stories to discerning readers, we invite you to consider transferring your pieces to our special collection, ILLUMINATION-Curated. This transfer poses no risks; all original links will remain intact, and the process is designed to be effortless. Medium supports this transition, allowing many successful writers to broaden their audience reach.
As part of the ILLUMINATION-Curated community, you hold the privilege of being recognized as a writer. Should you decide against this opportunity, you are free to withdraw at any time, and we will respect your choice.
To initiate the transfer, simply remove your story from ILLUMINATION and submit it to ILLUMINATION-Curated. We will manage the visibility of your work among our growing readership. Since your contributions have already been curated and categorized, there’s no need for any editorial adjustments; your work has previously met our quality standards and those of Medium curators. Our readers are sure to enjoy these exceptional narratives.
To facilitate a successful transfer, our lead editor, Dew Langrial, has provided a detailed guide within this communication. Dew is a well-regarded writer whose own stories have achieved widespread recognition.
Section 1.1: A Call for New Stories
We also encourage our experienced writers to directly submit new stories to ILLUMINATION-Curated. Please note that new submissions will undergo a review process, including editing and a voting system for acceptance. Detailed information about this process can be found in the accompanying story.
Section 1.2: Frequently Asked Questions
For any queries regarding the submission process, feel free to consult our FAQs, which provide comprehensive answers to common concerns.
Chapter 2: Addressing Criticism
In the video "Why I write for Illumination," the author shares insights into their motivation for contributing to this platform, highlighting the value of curated stories.
Response to Unfounded Criticism
As with any successful endeavor, ILLUMINATION-Curated faces scrutiny from a few envious individuals making baseless claims on social media. Our transparent efforts to support our writers speak volumes about our commitment to this platform.
We adhere strictly to Medium's guidelines, and the quality of our writers’ content speaks for itself. Those who cast doubt can explore numerous curated stories on both ILLUMINATION and ILLUMINATION-Curated. The narratives presented in this post serve as a testament to our writers' exceptional talents.
Our former editor, Alison Tennent, recently addressed these allegations in a thoughtful piece. With extensive experience as an editor at ILLUMINATION, Alison is well-versed in the tactics employed by these few detractors who aim to undermine our community.
Alison has exposed the petty games played by these individuals, who project their insecurities onto our 4,400 accomplished writers. Writers are astute enough to see through these toxic narratives.
We offer every writer an optional opportunity to engage with our platform. Participation is voluntary; anyone adhering to Medium's rules is welcome to join or leave as they see fit. We actively support their writing aspirations, and writers have the freedom to transfer their stories to their own publications.
Section 2.1: The Guiding Principles of ILLUMINATION
Our publication is built on principles of inclusivity, diversity, and democratic fairness. Everything we do is by invitation, fostering a supportive environment for our writers.
To further understand our mission, we encourage you to read Alison’s story, which provides deeper insights into the ethos of ILLUMINATION.
