New Curation Service by ILLUMINATION — Volume 7
Nominated and curated selections from passionate writers tailored for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
ILLUMINATION-Curators collected these stories and compiled this post as a new curation service to create visibility for great pieces nominated by 57 volunteer editors/curators of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium.com, which supports 24K,+ writers.
We explained the reasons for this post in previous versions, which you can find in these links Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, and Volume 6. We believe you will enjoy our volume 7 today.
We’re 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.
Different stories have different effects on writers. To illustrate this our chief editor, Dr Mehmet Yildiz featured a story that resonated with him. It would be great if some writers could feature their favourite stories like this.
Collaboration among writers and readers is crucial on Medium, making it a great place for both. All our editors and administrators are volunteers, dedicating their time to give a voice to every writer. They review and publish stories daily without any payment. Let’s recognize their contributions and use this service graciously.
Leaving comments, giving a few claps, sharing on social media, and following profiles will delight these writers and encourage them to continue writing great pieces like those in this collection.
To address the visibility of stories, out of 145 volunteer editors, our team of 57 volunteer curators developed this new service idea. 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.
Additionally, our lead curator includes them in lists a great Medium feature. When you see your stories in lists, you may save, share on social media, link to your stories, and comment 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 create 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)

Extended Benefits to Write for Technology Hits Publication with New Leadership Commitment
Writers’ income drop in September and October due to fraudulent activities on Medium, as discussed in a story by Mike Broadly titled Here’s What Seems to Happen to Medium Last Week.
With this opportunity, we also introduce new writers joining us today. Let’s give them a warm welcome and explore their profiles. We add their profiles at the end of the collection.
Selected Stories from ILLUMINATION Writers Today
We believe you will find relevant and enjoyable pieces from this collection covering many topics. We added them to a list so that you can easily share this collection on your socials. Today, our editor and media coordinator Aiden (Illumination Gaming) volunteered to create the list.
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. Thank you for your support for these writers who pour their hearts and souls into these stories to delight you.
