Curated Collection #116
Chosen stories from experienced writers for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
We appreciate your feedback on collection #115 posted yesterday. Today, we compiled interesting stories out of hundreds of submissions published on Illumination.
These engaging and informative pieces in the collection cover various topics for your enjoyment.
The purpose of this post is to give our readers a quick taste of content published in our diverse and inclusive publication, ILLUMINATION on Medium.
We are grateful to publish our 100+ collections this year contributed by 15,500+ inspiring storytellers and give them a voice on this platform.
If you are a published author and have books, we can publish them in Illumination Book Chapters and promote them on our platforms. If you plan to turn your articles and blog posts into books, you may check this guide posted by Dr Mehmet Yildiz.
Dr Yildiz encourages our writers to become published authors and earn income by diversifying content on multiple platforms and formats. Your books chapters in story format might generate income on Medium.
Technology Hits also created a collection from Illumination Book Chapters in addition to several collections including chosen stories from ILLUMINATION-Curated. We are pleased that these outstanding stories are featured in our collections. Here is the latest collection from Technology Hits.
You might check out the previous collections by Technology Hits at this link. We keep our featured collections in a single post titled Meta Collection of Featured Stories. Our editors enjoy amplifying the informative, engaging, and interesting content of our writers using various approaches and tools.
Here are the previous collections of Illumination-Curated.
ILLUMINATION-Curator posted two outstanding collections from our publication Illumination-Curated for experienced writers. We are grateful for the support of our volunteer editors investing their precious time to make our writers and readers happy.
