Curated Collection #118
Chosen stories from experienced writers for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
Today, we compiled more interesting stories out of hundreds of submissions published on Illumination.
These engaging and informative pieces in the collection cover various topics for your enjoyment. Thank you for your feedback on the previous collection #117.
The purpose of this post is to give our readers sample content published in our diverse and inclusive publication, ILLUMINATION on Medium.
We are grateful to publish our 100+ collections this year contributed by around 15,500 inspiring storytellers and give them a voice on this platform.
We have several publications. One of the unique ones is Illumination Book Chapters. If you are a published author and own copyright of your 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 posted a new collection today.
