About Substack Mastery Publication on Medium.com

For those unfamiliar, as part of the ILLUMINATION community, the Substack Mastery publication is an education, collaboration, and promotion tool for creators, freelancer writers, and content entrepreneurs both on Medium and Substack. We have a public publication on Medium where subscribers can introduce their newsletters. Please review Submission Guidelines for Substack Mastery on Medium.

Re-branding “ILLUMINATION-Curated” as “Curated Newsletters”

We re-branded ILLUMINATION-Curated as the Curated Newsletter pub to give writers an opportunity to write stories in a newsletter format. It is an education and collaboration tool. Dr Yildiz posted a bulletin about it to inform the community. If you are a contributor to the previous ILLUMINATION-Curated pub, we look forward to your feedback on how we can use the new pub to serve you better. We will create a new set of submission guidelines for the new publication called Curated Newsletter, which will be an extension of our current Substack Mastery.

We introduced Substack Mastery pub in a previous post. Here is an intro to our organization: How I Architected a Charity Organization & Why I Will Run It Like a Business.
