Selected stories for avid readers
Dear Readers,
Today, 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.
You may check 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.
Illumination Integrated Publication has a new pub 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 exciting journey. This pub is owned by Illumination YouTube Coordinator. Details are in this story. Yesterday, we introduced Carla Woody on Illumination YouTube Channel. We will feature more writers.
Thanks reader for feedback in emails for our monthly newsletter. Readers are enjoying our eclectic and engaging stories. We gained many more subscribers who are interested in stories of our writers.
As mentioned before, we 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. Besides, 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.
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. We 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

Good News: Two Innovative Content Distribution Companies Amalgamate Dr Mehmet Yildiz
Freelance writers pour their heart and soul into their content. They deserve compensation. Innovative companies like Draft2Digital and Smashwords open the path by giving independent writers and authors a competitive opportunity. Outspokenly, we need to take personal responsibility for our products and services in this economic climate as vanity metrics do not pay our bills and feed our families.
Seven Tips to Improve Mood Instantly Dr Mehmet Yildiz #mental-health
“When we feel tired and overwhelmed, our sympathetic nervous system takes over. It can put us in a fight, flight, or freeze state. These states are part of our natural protection process directed by the survival system. However, we need to activate our parasympathetic nervous system to get rid of the survival state and move to a thriving state.”
