Summary

Be Open Golden Stories #11 celebrates the top stories from July 2021, selected by the editor based on criteria such as engagement, quality, and impact, aiming to increase exposure for writers on Medium.

Abstract

The Be Open publication has released its 11th edition of Golden Stories, a curated list of top-tier articles submitted by its writers between July 1 and July 31, 2021. These stories are chosen for their captivating narratives, meaningful messages, exceptional writing, and their ability to entertain or touch the editor and, hopefully, the readers. The initiative also includes a new feature starting September 2021, where the editor will select stories from the Golden and Platinum lists to ensure equal visibility for all submissions. Additionally, the publication is seeking new editors, announcing the current editorial team, and encouraging writers to create 'More About Me' stories to foster a deeper connection with their audience.
