Illumination Books Chapters on Medium will be empowered by the new book club on Substack
As an author, I understand the struggles of writing a book — the long hours of research, the constant self-doubt, and the uphill battle to get it in front of readers. Publishing a book is not just about finishing a manuscript but about finding an audience that values your work. In this economic climate authors also need to be self-editors, administrators, marketers, and sellers of their books.
I designed this book club to be more than a place to post book chapters. I will make it an engaging and pleasant virtual reading community where book lovers and authors create a synergistic space.
Authors will gain support beyond writing — through book launches, honest reviews, testimonials, and reader engagement — while readers discover new books, stay informed, and enjoy meaningful discussions.
To sustain this initiative, ILLUMINATION Book Club will be a monetized publication at an affordable fee as a value proposition of Substack Mastery Boost Pilot. I know how economically challenged writers and readers are.
So, to make it easy for everyone, I will offer five publication benefits for just $5 monthly. So, members who subscribe to just one of the Boost Pilot publications will have complimentary access to exclusive content and tier 2 benefits. Some content will still be free. Our publications are not for profit. The fee will cover administration, marketing, editing, and delivery costs.
Many new subscribers to Substack publications coming through my website and LinkedIn had never heard of Substack before, but after learning about its value, they are now eager to join.
To support these readers, I have written a new book titled Substack for Avid Readers, leveraging the contents of my course materials. No one has explored this topic before, as everyone covers writing aspects.
So, I made this unique book available for early access as an audiobook and digital book on Google Play and other platforms. It is a quick, practical guide — around 16,000 words, which can be read or listened to in 2 hours. I will upload the digital and audio content to the ILLUMINATION Book Club and Content Marketing Strategy Insights to educate readers.
I also uploaded my Substack Mastery book, the Advanced Substack Newsletter book, and Aiden’s From Zero to Substack Hero training program to my publication as educational resources.
I will also integrate our Goodreads community with the new book club. Our upcoming ILLUMINATION Writing Academy will empower book authors.
My vision is to create an engaged book community where authors and readers collaborate meaningfully. ILLUMINATION Book Club will be one of the most powerful tools to make this happen and help us achieve our goals to make Substack Mastery Boost a successful program in 2026 to empower millions of freelance writers.
I am grateful and have complete confidence in my vision, my team’s capabilities, and our members’ support.
This club is just the beginning of education and marketing initiatives. If you are an author or a book lover, I invite you to be part of this movement. I will share more details, including submission guidelines, soon.
Now, we have three powerful networks: Health/Wellness, Freelancing, and Book Club. I will integrate them as one network to create a fusion. Health is essential to my readers and me, and I have introduced this new network lately.

I write about many topics, including technology, health, and content marketing strategy. However, as a postdoctoral researcher in the cognitive science discipline, I wrote many guiding stories to inform and inspire you to improve your cognition and mental health.
