Chosen stories from experienced writers for avid readers
Dear Readers,
Our aim is to give avid readers a quick taste of these engaging stories from our diverse and inclusive publication on Medium. Therefore, we have chosen interesting stories published on ILLUMINATION out of many published pieces. We value efforts of our writers who delight our readers. You may also check useful stories from a curated collection of 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.
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 welcome new writers joined us today: Zack Fizell, K.B. Bailey, Amanda Quint, Eileen Pangu, Charisse Tyson, Afzal Badshah, PhD, Talula Rose, Srishti Kapur, Natalia Kuzminykh, Erika Uy, Parash Sharma, Wahab Afeez, Ashwiniishte, Lily Lin, Sulait kabwandi, Donna Fox.
