Context

As a sample, Dr Mehmet Yildiz has recently created a new collection file for curated stories on ILLUMINATION to encourage writers to participate in this initiative. According to him “unless we purposefully make our stories visible, they will be buried…As an author, you need to take responsibility to make your stories visible.”

By taking this opportunity, I want to share my recently curated stories.
