New Curation Service by ILLUMINATION — Volume 19
Nominated and curated selections from passionate writers tailored for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
Today, we present engaging stories for your enjoyment. As part of our new curation service, we compiled this collection to create visibility for great pieces nominated by volunteer editors and ILLUMINATION-Curators of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium.com, which supports 24K+ writers.
We explained the reasons for this post in previous versions. If you missed them, you can find them in these links: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8, Volume 9, Volume 10, Volume 11, Volume 12, Volume 13, Volume 14, and Volume 15, and Volume 16, Volume 17, and Volume 18. We believe you will enjoy our volume 18 today.
We are pleased that our special publication, ILLUMINATION-Curated, got recognized as a boost nominating pub. Here is How ILLUMINATION Publications Support the BOOST Program.
Please note that these stories are nominated by volunteering editors (also writers and readers) on this platform, so the stories in this collection reflect their collective taste. As a publication, ILLUMINATION keeps a neutral position for all published stories, and it is impossible to feature over one million published stories. But we will do our best to amplify as many great stories as possible almost daily from now on based on the availability of our volunteers.
Stories hold power, molding a writer’s unique perspective. For example, our chief editor was moved by a recent story, envisioning the impact of more writers sharing their treasured tales similarly. It’s an opportunity to explore diverse narratives and inspirations, enriching this platform with many voices.

Medium thrives on the essential collaboration between writers and readers, fostering an exceptional space for both communities. Within this platform, our editors and administrators generously volunteer their time, ensuring every writer finds their voice. Their commitment involves daily review and publication of stories without compensation.
By leaving comments, offering a round of applause, sharing stories on social media, and following profiles, you may bring immense joy to these writers. Your support serves as a powerful encouragement, motivating them to craft more exceptional pieces akin to those found in this collection.
Out of 145 volunteer editors, a team of 57 volunteer curators developed this new service idea to address the visibility of stories. Each nominates a few stories from their reading list daily, and our lead ILLUMINATION-Curators compile them into collections like this one for our readers. But we can only add a limited number of stories to keep these posts in a reasonable size.
Our lead curators include them in lists, a great Medium feature. When you see your stories in lists, you may save them, share them on social media, link to them, comment on them, and like the list for increased visibility. The entire curation process takes up substantial time, so we will appreciate your support as your time allows.
Many editors, including our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz, also created a list of the stories they read from our publication. We will compile lists in these collections. Here are sample curated pieces created by Dr. Yildiz recently from his tech account Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech)

Today ILLUMINATION editors introduce two great writers, Jozsef Kovacs and Davor Katusic. You may check out their profiles and explore their fabulous stories.
We recently introduced a few more writers like Thomas Allen Moon , Omni Essence, Sneha Nagre, Sridhar Pai Tonse — Leadgen Coach- Tech Startups, Zondra Dos Anjos, Ani Vals, and Ammara Hassan
Our editors enjoy stories and nominate them for these curated collections. You may check editor profiles in the attached collection.
Daily List for Sharing — Volume 19
You will find relevant and enjoyable pieces from this collection covering many topics. Today, our editor and media coordinator Aiden (Illumination Gaming) volunteered to create the list. So you can easily share this collection on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, or Quora.
Let’s all engage in this list and at least tweet it so that more readers can find these stories. It is the purpose of these curated lists.
We appreciate your wonderful support for these writers who pour their hearts and souls into these stories to delight you.
Here are the nominated stories from avid readers today.

Update on New Writer Registrations
Due to some glitches, we are adding new writers joining us in the last few days. It will take time, so please be patient. This delay is caused by Thanksgiving holiday. We apologize for inconvenience.
Note from Aiden (Illumination Gaming): dear new writers, there appears to be a system glitch, so if you cannot see our publications on your list, please don’t panic. We will add you again as soon as our administrators come back from holidays. I will try to add as many as possible manually and also get a Slack request sent to you. I am one of the editors and a media coordinator for Illumination publications so you can contact me on Slack when you need help.
Please remember to submit only one story daily, preferably as a draft. We don’t accept multiple stories as our focus is on quality to increase your chance of being boosted by Medium.
Change of Perceptions for Expectations
Unlike perceptions, ILLUMINATION editors don’t publish every story. Your stories must be well-crafted and valuable for our readers. Our focus is curatable and boostable stories.

You may also self-curate your stories to gain visibility. Aiden provided a sample example, as attached. You may follow a similar format by categorizing your stories based on topics.
