Visibility for Most Loved Stories

Archives of Distributed Stories from ILLUMINATION — Volume 1

Easy Access to chosen stories and distributed to Medium Topics in 2020

Purpose

These outstanding stories received millions of views and thousands of hours of reading time. As they are valuable, we don’t want them to be dusted.

Finding old stories on Medium can be challenging for readers. ILLUMINATION hosts thousands of stories. Various types of writers contribute to this publication. Some readers request high-quality and curated stories from our creative writers.

The purpose of this post is to help our readers find high-quality stories from contributors of ILLUMINATION, distributed to multiple topics on Medium. Thus, we curated these stories recorded in our archives in a structured way.

We compiled them in chronological order adding author name, story heading/subheading, and topic names.

This structure can make finding the stories using a keyword search easy. This collection can also serve as a guide for aspiring writers who want to learn writing techniques from experienced writers.

Some of the contributors transferred these stories to their own publications and other publications.

However, since they were initially published on ILLUMINATION and loved by many of our readers, we keep them in our collection, providing links to the current sources. As our appreciation, we want our contributors to be acknowledged and their stories to gain further visibility.
