What is the role of an editor on ILLUMINATION?

ILLUMINATION Editors are not traditional editors like in other publications.

Our editors are more harvesters and curators of knowledge. Our editors search for insights, wisdom, and meaning hidden in the Medium ecosystem and bring the articles to the light on the ILLUMINATION publication.

Some of those articles may require an update. Editors arrange with the writers of those articles. This is a case by case situation. Some articles can be published as-is, and some of them may require a minor update.

Some of our editors volunteered to proofread, edit, and format articles for new writers. However, this is not a typical role for our editors.
