Medium is one of the largest writing platforms paying writers and giving limitless reading times to subscribers
This post is about how to join and leverage the power of Medium for writing and reading. I also introduce how I can help you as a writer and chief editor of multiple publications.
I have been writing on Medium since 2019. Writing is therapeutic to me. I posted over 1,500 articles and gained around 8,000 readers. I established seven publications, called ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications, contributed by 11,700 writers and thousands of discerning readers. Many stories went viral from publications. Joining my publications is free for Medium members. You can request access via this web link.

When you join Medium, I’d be glad to help you via my publications and virtual support platform using Slack workspace. There are more than 9,000 members of this workspace.
76 volunteer editors support my publications and they feature stories of our contributing writers.
Here is my guidance on how to survive and thrive Medium.
I created a new publication called Readers Hope.
This publication aims to transform avid readers to prolific writers using a supportive and innovative publishing tool. Here is the vision and mission of Readers Hope.
