Welcome to the Convex and Concave Collaborative Magazine!

Thank you for visiting.
It has been about a month since I started on note.I want more connections related to developmental issues!With that thought in mind, I decided to launch a dedicated collaborative magazine.

I will resolve questions like "What is a collaborative magazine!?" here, so if you would like to participate, please let me know in the comments✨

What is the Convex and Concave Collaborative Magazine?

This is a collaborative magazine specializing in developmental issues, launched by a science-major mom struggling with the development of her non-verbal two-and-a-half-year-old. Participation is free.

The inspiration behind the birth of the Convex and Concave Collaborative Magazine

Are you worried that "even if I write articles, no one reads them..."? Actually, this is a problem I personally faced when I first started on note.

What solved that for me was a diffusion-typecollaborative magazine.

By participating in a collaborative magazine,it appears on many people's feeds and top screens, so my view counts and likes increased dramatically, and my motivation went up as well.

However, the next problem that arose was that I received many "likes" from people with no connection to the topic, and I wondered,I don't know if it's reaching the people I really want to read it....

Also, as someone gathering information, even if I wanted to read information about developmental disabilities,it was scattered and hard to understand, which was also a problem.

That is whyI decided to create a collaborative magazine specializing in developmental disabilities myself!was the inspiration.

Benefits of participating

The members participating are all people who have developmental concerns, support people with developmental disabilities, or are in some way related to developmental disabilities.

By participating, your articles will be displayed on the feeds and top screens of participating members, sothe number of people who read and "like" your work will increase.

Also, if you want to know information about developmental disabilities, you can always access the latest information by participating in this magazine.

Furthermore, you can deepen exchanges with peers who have the same concerns. I hope that members will actively comment on each other, encourage one another, and enjoy life, parenting, and support related to developmental disabilities＾＾

What is a collaborative magazine?

When you join a collaborative magazine,you can freely add your own articles to the magazine.

How to add articles

① Write the article you want to add ② Publication settings ③ Select "Add" to "Convex and Concave Collaborative Magazine" ④ Update

You can add articles easily like this. If you want to add an article that has already been published, please tap the book icon to add it. Adding existing articles is also very welcome!

Rules for the Convex and Concave Collaborative Magazine

Eligibility

☑︎ Moms and dads raising children with developmental disabilities
☑︎ Moms and dads worried about their child's development
☑︎ Individuals who have a developmental disability themselves
☑︎ Individuals who suspect they might have a developmental disability
☑︎ Individuals or organizations supporting people with developmental disabilities

As long as it is even slightly related to developmental disabilities, it's okay!

Behaviors to avoid

① Do not add many articles at once
Adding past articles is fine, but adding many at once will fill the feed with articles from the same creator.

Please add them little by little, aiming for a maximum of 2-3 articles at a time.

② Do not re-upload
Removing an article that has already been added to the magazine and adding it again will make it appear at the top of the magazine, making it stand out.

While this may get more attention, please refrain from doing this as it will bury other people's articles.

③ Do not upload articles completely unrelated to development
Please only add articles related to developmental disabilities to this magazine.

For example, articles on themes common in developmental disabilities, such as "picky eating," are okay.

There may be articles where it is unclear if they are related to developmental disabilities, but please use your own judgment;if the content is something that people struggling with developmental issues would be interested in or find useful, it is okay!

Please configure your email settings

When you join a collaborative magazine, you will receive a large number of emails saying, "[Name] has added an article to the Convex and Concave Collaborative Magazine."

To avoid this, please configure your settings as follows.

① Account Settings
② Notifications
③ Email
④ Magazine Change Notifications
⑤ Collaborative Magazine Updates (Off)

I highly recommend setting this before you join, before your inbox gets flooded! (I've experienced it myself)

Please comment if you would like to join

Finally

Since this is my first time creating a joint-run magazine, I am a bit anxious about whether it will go well... Everyone, please do not hesitate to point out anything you notice.

I hope that by joining forces with those who have become members, we can grow this into a magazine that is helpful for those struggling with developmental issues.

I look forward to working with you.
