Sample Featured Stories from ILLUMINATION Publications on Medium
Dear Subscribers,
Happy weekend. As curation team of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium and Substack we decided to share the collections of our editors on Digitalmehmet Content Ecosystem to help our readers and writers as a community.
We will curate stories from Health and Science publication in another collection. These are mainly from our mighty ILLUMINATION, supporting now 38K writers and 256K+ readers. We will try to keep my collections around 10-minute reads as we don’t want to overwhelm you with too many stories published on our publications.
Dr Broadly also started curating content at the Digitalmehmet Content Ecosystem as a volunteer arranging teaser blog posts as presentable online magazines. He wrote a blog post about it. If you are interested in becoming a guest blogger you can check this story about its value and contact Dr Yildiz who can give you access to our community blogs. Here is my post to give you an idea about the scope.
Dr Mehmet Yildiz created helpful tools for writers on his innovative platform and I have started using some of them helping me a lot in growing my audience. You can find a summary in his award winning story and join some of his initiatives like easy story sharing, guest blogging, and blog directory:
As a new update, we are also creating a scholarly journal for ILLUMINATION writers and researchers on Medium, our content ecosystem, and Substack. We will announce them soon. Welcome to ILLUMINATION Scholar and the Journal of Emerging Technologies in Neuroscience.
Our editor and content curator Aiden MC also shares his Medium collections on Digitalmehmet Content Ecosystem. Here’s Aiden’s latest featured list here.
