Dear Curation Team, thank you for harvesting and featuring these great newsletters.

Let's all share each newsletter you explore and engage with their writers. Collaboration and community are the most critical success factors in Substack. Without community, it can be extremely difficult to be found on this platform. We create many opportunities for free, and it is up to you to take them. Thank you for being a valuable member of this joyful and supportive community. Please feel free to share your publications in the comments so our curators can find them easily in the future in upcoming episodes.

Great to find these interesting publications and meet their authors through these featured posts. Many thanks to all curators and volunteer editors making this happen. I love the vibrancy and supportive spirit of this community. Today I gained my first 500 subscribers (not fake followers like on Medium) so I am very happy to find an audience on Substack thanks to ILLUMINATION community. I am a proud founding member and sponsor of Substack Mastery Boost Pilot.

I enjoy being part of the curation team as it helps me to find new publications and meet awesome writers on Substack. I am grateful to Dr Yildiz who mentors and inspires me. I also appreciate our volunteer editors always find new writers and help me amplify their content. Illumination is a wonderful community which makes me feel at home both on Medium and Substack. Without a community Substack can be very lonely.

Totally agree. Community is all-important, especially with Medium facing some tough times. Just looking at that list and I see many good friends, and some I’ve yet to meet. I’ll make an effort to look at a few of these newsletters. Thank you for leading this community and building strong links.

Wow, my first mention in a substack post! Dear Curation Team, writers, and founders. Thank you for your incredible support. Without this empowering community, I wouldn't be here. I would most likely be puzzled about how to even start. Thank you so much. Wishing this community interminable blessings!
