Curated Collection #38
Selected stories for avid readers
Dear Readers,
Today, we compiled a small number of interesting stories published on ILLUMINATION out of many published pieces today. Our purpose is to give avid readers a quick taste of these stories from our diverse and inclusive publication on Medium. We value our writers as they support our readers.
We created a new publication called “ILLUMINATION on YouTube” aiming to give voice to YouTubers on Medium and allow Medium writers to introduce their YouTube channel. All writers and YouTubers are welcome to join this new journey. Details are in this story.
As mentioned yesterday, we decided to introduce new writers joining our publications in this post daily. Our purpose is to reduce the administrative workload for 13,700 writers. This new approach will save us significant time. In addition, this new plan might give an opportunity to our existing writers to find and follow new writers. It is beneficial for previous and new writers for cross pollinating them actively.
Let’s give these new writers who joined us a warm welcome. Rafay Hiraj, Maisie Bishop, Susan F Weimer, Janet Meisel, Jeremiah Ramesh, Matteo Cervelli | People Gardener 🧑🌾, Audrey Stimson, Dawn :), Lee Blackwood, Kaleb Shumway, Not A Finance Bro, Marmotian, Coke Francis, Ingerul Pierdut, Aaron Ullal, Jonathan Milligan, Jim Nightingale, Lifestyle With Nina, Ruchi Gupta, Jennica Rose, Roxanne Bridgers, Wynn Lavie, Hannah Pullinger. New writers, please check this onboarding pack before submitting your stories to our publications. Quality and style of your stories are important for our readers.
You may check featured collections in a single post titled Meta Collection of Featured Stories: Easy access to daily selected stories from engaging writers of ILLUMINATION: Volume 3–2022.
We hope you find some valuable and enjoyable pieces from this collection and previous collections for you Sunday reading. You may also check great stories in our featured collection from the last three days. Here are the last three collections full of interesting stories covering many topics.
