Writing and Editing

Using a well-designed checklist can significantly improve the qualities of your stories. Last year, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz created a checklist to guide the writers of his publications. Since then, many writers have used this checklist, and they have noticed a significant improvement in their writing skills.

After using the checklist a few times, while self editing your stories, it becomes a habit. So, you don't need to use it in the future. However, using a checklist can be valuable for new writers in the beginning.

Illumination Integrated Publications support all levels of writers. We usually classify them as Level 1, 2, and 3. Many writers at the level 1 who used this checklist improved the quality of their content and gained more readers. They transformed into the category of experienced writers.

Using these questions can significantly increase the quality and readability of your articles at any level. It might also increase the chance of curation and virality for your articles, bringing you more followers and readers. We hope you will find them valuable.

Our YouTube coordinator created a video presentation of this checklist as a giveback activity to the writing communities on social media. We hope you enjoy the video.
