Curated Collection — Nostalgia Series
Featuring engaging stories that you may enjoy as well
Health Science Research By Dr Mike Broadly
Dear Readers, I couldn’t post my collections in the last few days. We had an excessive workload but it is getting better now with some strategic moves of our chief editors bringing innovative solutions to the table. We have exciting projects coming up to make writers’ job easier and to delight our readers with better services. The details will be in the newsletter soon.
For those who don’t know my account is Mike Broadly, DHSc. Today, I found some engaging and captivating stories for you. I believe there is something for everyone, as I chose eclectic pieces from multiple topics. I also curate special stories from my unique publication, Health and Science. Here is my second newsletter with progress and some examples. As mentioned before, Aiden usually covers new ones, and I do nostalgic ones to attract new readers. Recently, I wrote an inspiring story about gaming for parents and grandparents like me.
3 New Submission Guidelines for New Strategic Direction
We published new submission guidelines for ILLUMINATION, Curated Newsletters, and SYNERGY (Newsletter Booster). These are our largest publications. The new guidelines will make writers job easier. We tried to make them as simple as possible. We don’t worry about boosting anymore.
Our New 3-Tier Service for Creators, Freelancers, and Content Entrepreneurs
I became a founding member of ILLUMINATION Substack Community. I also started blogging. Our new 3-tier service is documented and will be announced soon. I covered it in an editorial bulletin titled The Strategic Move: ILLUMINATION Community’s Commercial Arm for Charitable Success. The offering is documented on our website in the attached link.

For those who don’t know, we renamed our recent publication Substack Mastery to make it an educational source for our writers and readers. It will be a sensational pub. ILLUMINATION-Curators introduce it today.
Welcome to “Substack Mastery” Publication by the ILLUMINATION Network on Medium
We renamed the previous “Substack on ILLUMINATION” publication to avoid confusion with our other publications.medium.com
We have a new Quora Space for Substack Mastery. You are all welcome to share links to your newsletters from Substcak and stories from Medium. Here’s the link to join Quora Space to build your audience.
If you write on health and science topics, you are welcome to join my community on Medium and Substack. I am also extending the service to Quora. Here’s my first tutorial about monetization, which is the most frequently asked question by writers.
Dr Yildiz left the boost program and explained his reasons in a story. As an editorial team, we support his great decision as this program, with no transparency, made editors and writers stress creating a more competitive atmosphere than our collaborative ones, so it did not meet our values. It was one of my reasons to quit editing.
