Curated Collection #46
Selected stories for avid readers
Dear Readers,
Today, we have chosen some interesting stories published on ILLUMINATION out of many published pieces. Our goal is to give avid readers of our publications 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 also check a curated collection from our special publication SYNERGY giving voice to freelance writers.
We established an interesting 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 exciting journey. This pub is owned by Illumination YouTube Coordinator. Details are in this story.
Many thanks to readers for feedback for our monthly newsletter via emails. Pleased to know that readers are enjoying our eclectic and engaging stories. We gained many more subscribers 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.
Let’s give these new writers a warm welcome: Hatim Zahid, Oliur Rahman, Larissa Capella, Madison Kelley, Tuan Pham-Barnes, Aline Henda, Emily Roy, Pooria Arab, Logan Land, Desmond Young. 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. We have eight publications serving various purposes and different audience. They are described in the onboarding pack.
You may check featured collections in a single post titled Meta Collection of Featured Stories. 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
