Purpose of the Story

Dear Writers,

I am excited to introduce our new publication, ILLUMINATION Gaming.

As a community volunteer with Illumination Integrated Publications, which supports 16,000 writers, I founded this platform to foster collaboration among online gamers and game writers on Medium.

Thanks to the strong support from Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, the chief editor of Illumination Integrated Publications, our resources are available to all writers on Medium.

With the existing infrastructure, including a Slack workspace and various social media channels, we can effectively expand this publication.

If you’re keen to share your gaming narratives, please submit a request to join our publication through the provided link.

We have several dedicated editors ready to assist in publishing and promoting stories within this initiative.

Our publication welcomes submissions on all facets of gaming, from real-life experiences to online adventures.

I have a strong interest in gamification.

I gained valuable insights on gamification's significance in enhancing our lives through the works of Victoria Ichizli-Bartels, a top writer whose stories on Illumination were recommended by Dr. Yildiz.

As a YouTuber and media consultant, I aim to share our compelling narratives on YouTube and introduce our contributing writers, similar to my work with other writers of Illumination Publications.
