Networking and Writer Connection List
New publication SYNERGY brings all ILLUMINATION writers to a single platform for collaboration
Dear friends,
The purpose of this short post is to inform you of two new and important initiatives for our writers.
Based on feedback from many writers, we plan to create a connection list for all our writers. This list is protected to use only by our registered writers. Please only provide information you want to share with the fellow writers.
As you may know, we have a large and active writing community now. Over 8,200 Medium writers have joined our publications. We have an excellent virtual workspace using Slack. 6,250 writers joined Slack and are engaging with each other meaningfully.
However, we found out that some writers didn’t know how to use Slack and got intimated by this collaboration tool. To cater to additional 2,000 readers, I created a private Facebook group. This collaboration group is exclusive to our writers. Our purpose is to extend networking, including Medium writers who also write for other platforms like Vocal Media, News Break, Hub Pages, and Substack using our new publication SYNERGY.
There are three actions for you in this post
The first one is to an invitation to a private Facebook group using this link.
The second one is to add your Medium profile, other writing profiles and social networks so that other writers can follow you. You can add your details to this Google Sheet: ILLUMINATION Writers Profile and Connection List.
The third action is to join SYNERGY requesting access via this weblink.
I sent an invitation to all writers to join Slack. If you haven’t received an invitation from me, please join using this link. We run the process of our publications on Slack. Writers and editors collaborate using various channels. They share links to their stories. They obtain feedback from editors and other experienced writers. They also have private chats with other writers.
As you would appreciate, networking is critical for the success of writers. The more extensive network we have, the more visible our content can get. With ongoing engagement, we can convert our followers to regular readers. Meaningful engagement and collaborative networking are critical to building a fan base for writers.
Many of us write on other platforms and have our blogs and websites. Our networking can help us support to create visibility for our platforms. Networking is also essential for published authors who need readers for their books and to obtain testimonials.
If you want to repurpose your Medium content by publishing on other platforms and monetising your content, please contact me on Slack. I will get you started.
I helped many writers to start with Vocal Media and News Break. They are now monetising content on these platforms and building new audiences.
Please provide your connection details so that I can follow you and recommend your profiles to my connections. And if you can please follow my new News Break profile, I’d appreciate it.
As some of you have already noticed, we established a specialised publication for freelance writers, editors, and bloggers aiming to bring all writers writing about writing in one place. It is called SYNERGY. The publication is growing rapidly. It has received great acceptance by many top writers, and Medium has already curated several stories. Details of SYNERGY are in this article.
If you don’t have writer access to SYNERGY, please send a request via this weblink.
My vision and primary goal is to see all our writers grow and become successful with meaningful and productive collaboration. By leveraging each other’s network, we can grow faster and reap many benefits. And the more we give, the more we receive.
Thank you for reading our newsletter, and look forward to your collaboration.
Best regards,
Dr Mehmet Yildiz
