Editor’s Choice
Hand-Picked Articles #103
Chosen by the technology editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium
Dear Readers and Writers,
Yesterday, I introduced our reading club.
All Medium members are welcome to join our initiative. If you are not a writer for our publications yet, you may request via this weblink. We desire to bring more readers to our publications as we serve thousands of writers. Currently, around 21,000 writers submit stories to our publications.
We aim to increase the reading times of writers. Dr. Mehmet Yildiz initiated this project. ILLUMINATION-Curator volunteered to lead it and outlined the purpose, process, and details of joining our reading club.
We look forward to your participation. Here is the announcement. Details are in the attached story.
As it was Illumination’s birthday when collection #88 by Illumination editors was posted, I found tributes to I. Trudie Palmer, for her story Illumination, Leads the Way, and to Un-Traditional Mother for her story Happy Birthday ILLUMINATION: I owe a lot to this publication.
Today, ILLUMINATION featured one of our accomplished writers Cliff Hightower. I read some of his stories and enjoyed them.
We believe you will find his content engaging and informative.
After these pieces of news, I’d like to thank readers for valuable feedback and reactions to interesting stories of writers shared in collection #102 posted yesterday. Your comments make our writers happy.
Today, I selected more enjoyable pieces for you. I reviewed stories from collection #88 published by ILLUMINATION featuring the great work of contributors of Illumination on Medium.
I compiled my previous collections at this link.
Illumination editors posted a curated collection #125, a more comprehensive piece than mine.
I add new writers as Illumination editors are busy with publishing. They have to deal with a significant backlog of submissions from writers daily.
We are sorry for the publishing delays. Submissions sometimes exceed our capacity of 30 editors. However, our volunteer editors are doing their best to publish as many as possible.
Some of the writers I added and notified earlier couldn’t see the publications, so I added them again. I have no idea why some accounts disappear. Glitches occur beyond our control sometimes. Thank you for your patience. We appreciate your support.
Let’s warmly welcome the new writers who join us today.
Cindy S. Yantis, Robert Sam, Bitxmi_blog, Matilde Aliffi, Gavin, SpaceBodyMind, Robin Johnson, Susie Pinon, Sarah-Jane White, A Quintet, Kim Hamlin, Julie Borden.
In the previous collection, we introduced the following new writers. We are pleased that some of them have already posted their articles on Illumination. I believe these new writers will benefit from the readers of our publications.
Julie Borden, YUNGBLUDD, despicable_sumit, Utsav Raval, Sarah-Jane White, David Wang, The Brock Report, Marta Henriques, Paul Causey, Lorraine Posthuma, Sheen johns, Maren Hamilton, Mark J Kingsfield, Spirebo Community, Hein Venter, Manu Kiza, Matilde Aliffi, Kingsley Martin, Cliff Hightower, Harlan Brothers, Kathryn Eriksen, Rituparna Banerjee, Ciaran Murphy, Jean Maxwell, Kiranbalmiki, Kedar Prabhu, Giuseppe Ferraro, Brock, despicable_sumit, Sharmila Musunuru, Tanya, The Opinionated Crone, Shobha Tiwari, Adeyeyekartob, Karl Walker, Benjamin Bailey, Vivian Lo, Jesse M Hawthorne, Sirena K. Green, JamieWrites, Astrophysics In Progress, Ciaran Murphy, Ruyek Ruin, Benjamin Bailey, Sameera Chathuranga, Kamal Talreja, Jcsainz, Olivia Reed, Keith.
ILLUMINATION provided guidance to new writers on collection #125. The key point for new writers is to check out the onboarding pack, which includes publication-specific information for a smooth transition.
Here is a copy of the onboarding pack that you may review before submitting your stories. Our editors can publish them faster if you follow the rules, so your stories start earning income and finding more readers.
Please remember to caption your photos.
They not only waste our editors’ precious time but also cause delays in publishing your stories. Let’s turn this undesirable situation into a win-win position. We provided step by step guide to cite your photos. It will take only a few minutes to understand it. Many writers learned it and reaped the benefits. It is really not that complex!
