2023 Updates
New AI-generated Content Policy
New writers, please check this new editorial update including a comprehensive checklist aiming to improve the quality of your writing and increase the chance of visibility and building your audience on Medium.
Upon request from many writers, our chief editor created a new article on how to generate passive income from your writing business methodically.
Dear Writers
Happy New Year!
This is a tool aiming to increase your audience and earning chances on Medium. Stories in this collection guide new writers to understand the platform and gain visibility in this crowd.
In 2023, We will update this supplementary resource to our onboarding pack weekly or fortnightly. Please check out the writers added to our publications each week. New accounts are listed at the end of this post to engage meaningfully.
Due to the high volume of writers joining us, we can only keep writer accounts maximum of a week in this post. You may explore their accounts and stories.
This post is one of our communication tools to inform and educate our new members. We linked guiding articles to empower our contributors optionally. You might check articles that interest you to improve your writing and marketing skills on Medium. These are designed primarily for beginners, but some experienced writers might also benefit. Reading these resources is optional.
However, the onboarding pack is essential for new writers to review before submitting stories, as we have specific rules to support our 21K+ writers. The critical document is the photo handling policy.
Here is the link to the onboarding pack for your review.
The most frequently asked question for new writers is how to submit a story to Illumination. It is straightforward.
When you draft your story, please click on the … (3 dots) on the top right side of your screen. Click on the add to publication and then choose Illumination and submit. Then editors will review and publish if your story qualifies.
We have three critical documents that all writers must review to comply with Medium policies and our publication guidelines. Here are the links:
Essential Documents for All Writers
Every writer of our publications needs to review these guiding policies before submitting their stories. We are tolerant, but these are non-negotiable rules.
First, let's introduce our publications.
These publications are managed in an integrated way by our 95 volunteer editors. Our publications support 20,000+ writers on Medium.

Every New Writer Must Read Photo Policy Before Starting

Not captioning and using copyrighted photos will lead to the rejection of stories.
