I Read 100+ Boosted Stories, and Here’s What I Learned.
Featuring boosted stories I reviewed, edited, and read on ILLUMINATION publications and the common patterns identified in them
Recently, I’ve heard a lot about boosting, as many writers keep discussing it. Although none of my stories have been boosted yet, I’ve participated in assessing and editing stories as part of my editorial role in ILLUMINATION-Curated. Now, as an avid reader, I’ve gained insights that I want to briefly share in this story.
Some of my Friends of Medium mentioned that they loved boosted stories amplified by Aiden (Illumination Gaming) and ILLUMINATION-Curators. I agree with them as I enjoy them too. I believe all of them deserve a boost. They provided me with valuable insights while entertaining and stimulating my aging brain and hungry mind.
In these boosted stories, I noticed several key patterns that make them stand out. In presentation, their work is impressive, standing out and leaving a mark on editors, nominators, curators, and readers like me.
First off, their introductions are compelling, immediately grabbing the reader’s attention from the get-go.
