Editor’s Choice
Hand-Picked Articles #108
Chosen by the technology editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium
Dear Readers and Writers,
We are grateful for your time and effort to read the interesting stories of our engaging and creative writers.
Thank you for your valuable feedback and reactions to interesting stories of writers shared in collection #108 posted. Creative writers deserve your support and recognition to create and share their thoughts.
Your meaningful engagement with their stories delights creators and inspires them to create more and better.
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.
As I had a bit of reading time this weekend, so today, I managed to choose and compile more pieces based on stories from collection #98 published by ILLUMINATION featuring the work of contributors of Illumination on Medium. I index my previous collections at this link for easy access for new readers.
ILLUMINATION-Curator posted an article introducing our new Reading Club. Medium members are welcome to join this initiative to increase reading times and create a collaborative atmosphere on this platform.
If you don’t have writer access to our publications, you may request via this weblink. We will add you to our Slack workspace upon your application.
We aim to attract more readers to our publications as we serve thousands of writers. Currently, around 15,000 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.
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.

Illumination editors compiled and published a curated collection #127. It is full of exciting stories.
Update on Adding New Writers
As I had more time than Illumination editors, I added new writers to publications as other editors are busy with publishing a significant backlog of submissions from a growing number of writers.
We apologize for the publishing delays. Submissions exceed our capacity of 30 editors. Nevertheless, our volunteer editors are doing their best to publish as many as possible each day.
Thank you for your patience. Your stories will be published gradually.
You may also to self-publish as we accept them. However, draft submissions might bring more readers so it is up to you.
To confirm we accept both draft and self-published stories. However, we give priority to drafts as these stories need to find readers as they wait.
