Curated Collection #40
Selected stories from experienced writers for avid readers

Dear Readers,
We selected and compiled a small number of interesting stories published on ILLUMINATION out of many published pieces today. Our aim 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.
Today, we also created a curated collection from our special publication SYNERGY giving voice to freelance writers. We hope you find these informative stories valuable especially if you are into content development and marketing.
We announced a new publication called “ILLUMINATION on YouTube” aiming to give voice to YouTubers on Medium and allow Medium writers to introduce their YouTube channel. Details are in this story. All writers and YouTubers are welcome to join this new journey.
Yesterday, we posted our monthly newsletter. We also posted it to Substack for our extended subscribers. We’d appreciate it if you can share the links in your social circles to keep the external audience informed with our progress for writers and readers.
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 15,000+ 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 join us today a warm welcome: Gundega Tupiņa, Jared Bouchard, RBGraham, Jeroen V, Kimanzi Constable, Yinka Ekundayo, Himani Gupta, Paul Walker, Kathlyn Chua, Ackansha Deoli, Sarvam Fating, Azin Anees, Becca Dorn-Medeiros, EdS, Melissa Marietta, Cavan Mitchell, Nicky Christensen. New writers, please check this onboarding pack before submitting your stories to our publications. The 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 firmly believe that you find some valuable and enjoyable pieces on this collection and previous collections. 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.Curated
