Hand-Picked Articles #106
Chosen by the technology editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium
Dear Readers and Writers,
Thank you for checking the stories of our engaging writers on Medium.
We are grateful to readers who leave valuable feedback and reactions on interesting stories of writers shared in collection #105 posted. Writers deserve support and recognition to create and share their thoughts.
Your engagement with meaningful comments and claps on their stories delight our writers and inspire them to share great stories. If you can share their stories when you read, more readers can benefit from their content.
We designed these featured collections to allow readers to follow their favorite writers and share them after reading easily.
Today, we selected exciting pieces for you. We reviewed stories from collection #93 published by ILLUMINATION featuring the great work of contributors of Illumination on Medium. We compile my previous collections at this link for easy access.
We recently announced Illumination’s Reading Club. All Medium members are welcome to join our new initiative to increase reading times and create a collaborative atmosphere bringing writers and readers to a virtual gathering place.
If you are not a writer for our publications yet, you may request via this weblink. We will add you to our Slack workspace upon your application.
We desire to attract more readers to our publications as we serve thousands of writers. Currently, 21,000+ writers submit stories to our publications. We are grateful for their contributions, delighting our readers.
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.
ILLUMINATION editors featured new writers to bring them, new readers. We will continue to introduce more writers soon. In the meantime, you might check out selected stories of these great writers.

Let’s explore the stories of these writers and support them.
You might check more interviews conducted by our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz in the attached collection. You may contact Dr. Yildiz on Illumination Slack workspace if you want to be interviewed.
Illumination editors published a curated collection #126. It is a more comprehensive piece than mine, covering the newest stories.
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.
Introduction to New Writers
Let’s warmly welcome the new writers who join us today.
Katherine Myrestad, DΞNYS SΞRGUSHKIN, Pierre. My stories are my life., Shubhi Singh, Milya Kotlyarova, Siddha Dhar, Dylan Guai, Modes et Frivolités, Carlos Garcia, James Boylan, Vicki Spannagel, M.

ILLUMINATION provided guidance to new writers on collection #126. 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. Not captioning and using copyrighted photos waste our editors’ precious time and cause delays in publishing your stories.
Let’s all please convert 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 not a complex task.
