Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius. ― Arthur Conan Doyle
My focus was on interviewing our two insightful writers of ILLUMINATION today. Both writers contributed to our publication significantly from day 1.
First, I interviewed Terry Mansfield, who is an eclectic writer of ILLUMINATION. You can read the interview script from the attached story.
The second interview was with Bill Abbate who is the leadership expert on ILLUMINATION who submits his insightful stories consistently. Attached is the interview script.

Inviting Eminent Thoughts Leaders to ILLUMINATION
After two of our well-written stories on an important topic [autophagy] were not distributed to the topics for unknown reasons and no feedback, I decided to create an awareness of the topic using a different approach. We need to show our leadership for visibility of significant messages that truly matter for society; otherwise, mediocrity can prevail.
To this end, I created a story in a letter format addressing Professor Yoshinori Ohsumi, who is the Nobel Prize winner in 2016 on this important topic. I requested my scientific contacts to spread the word and invite Prof. Ohsumi as a guest writer for ILLUMINATION. I believe in serendipity. You can read my letter from the attached story. We are determined and committed to creating successful outcomes.
One of my goals is to empower readers by bringing eminent scientists, technologists, politicians, educators, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, award-winning authors, TED speakers, and many other professionals. We aim to illuminate our society and plan to spread our insightful words to millions.
