Quantitative data can be essential for writers. It adds credibility and flavour to writing. Many of us use quantative data for different purposes. In this article, I introduce excellent free data services provided by the Open Bank.
The article can be accessed on Medium using this link titled Free Quantitative Data for Writers

My primary focus is to share my observations, findings, and interactions with writers whose stories trended and went viral recently. Based on these points, I aim to give practical guidance and make some tangible recommendations to our writers.

In this story, I introduce our successful writers briefly and provide some sample articles which are trending and going to viral state.

I provide supplemental materials based on my previous analysis of specific viral stories under some sample profiles. Therefore I did not go into details for each component. Some details are captured in previous stories.

I created a group for writers of ILLUMINATION Publication on Goodreads. We have 5,700 writers contributing to our publication on Medium. 46,000 readers follow our publication. Our aim is to create synergy between readers and writers. Goodreads is an excellent platform for us to collaborate.
Here is the story providing guidance on the group and how to join. Look forward to more members.

Initially, three types of submissions are encouraged for this publication. After the pilot phase, we will re-evaluate and may extend our scope.
1 - Published books
As obvious, you can publish your book chapters in story formats. Several authors like Casi Mclean, Shashi Sastry, Claudia Stack have already published chapters of their books on ILLUMINATION and ILLUMINATION-Curated.
You can transfer your previously published chapters from ILLUMINATION and ILLUMINATION-Curated to ILLUMINATION Book Chapters. This transfer can expose your stories to a new audience who love reading book chapters in story format.
A book chapter in story format can be usually around 5 to 10 minutes reading time. If your chapters are longer than this, you may create sub chapters like Chapter 1a, Chapter 1b, Chapter 1c, etc.
2 - Book reviews
Book reviews can be informative to readers.
You can also publish reviews of the books and books that you enjoyed reading and found valuable.
As a sample, I published a self-review of one of my books today.

3 - Author Testimonials
Testimonials are critical to the success of published authors.
You can publish stories, including testimonials about your books.
In addition, you can write stories about the book chapters that you read from other writers in testimonial format.
Based on feedback from many subscribers, we identified the need for book chapters. Considering the number of contributing writers for the ILLUMINATION family of publications, we believe many published authors can benefit from this unique service.

I look forward to supporting published authors on Medium. More information is in my latest editorial bulletin.
I also created a book club on Substack. All book authors and book lovers are welcome to join: https://illuminationbookclub.substack...
