Hand-Picked Articles #112
Chosen by a content curator of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium

Dear Readers and Writers,
Thank you for reading the stories of our engaging and creative writers.
We are grateful for your valuable and inspiring feedback and reactions to interesting stories of writers shared in collection #111 posted before.
Here is the link for those who might have missed the previous collection.
Creative writers deserve your support and recognition to create and share their thoughts.
We recently introduced a new publication called ILLUMINATION Gaming. If you missed the announcement, you might find the invitation posted by Illumination Gaming in the attached story.
All Medium writers are welcome to join and share their gaming stories.
Meaningful and inspiring engagement you give to the stories of creators delights and motivates them to create better and more.
If you could share their stories when you read them in your circles, more readers can benefit from their content.
Social media tools like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest, or Quora provide easy sharing facilities.
Here is guidance on using social media effectively: How Writers and Readers Can Use Social Media Productively.
We post these featured collections to allow readers to follow their favorite writers and share them after reading easily.
Today, I selected and compile great pieces based on stories I found in collection #100 published by ILLUMINATION featuring the work of contributors of Illumination on Medium.
I compiled the links to my previous collections in this post for easy access.
ILLUMINATION-Curator posted an article introducing our new Reading Club. Medium members are welcome to join this initiative to increase reading times.
We will feature some of those shared stories in our upcoming collections. So please feel free to link your stories to the Reading Club channel on the Slack workspace.
If you don’t have writer access to our publications or Slack, you may request via this weblink. We will add you to our Slack workspace upon approval of your writer application.
We approve all ethical writers unless they attempt plagiarism or post harmful content to Medium.
Our goal for creating the Reading Club is to attract more readers to our publications as we serve thousands of creative writers.
Currently, 21000+ writers submit stories to our publications. We are grateful for their contributions, delighting our readers.
Dr. Mehmet Yildiz initiated this project to increase reading times. 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 compiled and published a curated collection #127. It is full of exciting stories.
Update on New Writers
I recently add new writers to publications as other editors are busy with publishing a large backlog of submissions from a growing number of writers.
We are sorry for the publishing delays. Submissions exceed our capacity of 30 editors. Despite all, our volunteer editors are doing the best to publish as many drafts as possible each day.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. Your stories will be published eventually.
You may also consider self-publishing as we accept them. However, draft submissions might bring more readers so it is up to you.
Our publications accept both draft and self-published stories. But, we give priority to drafts because these stories need to find readers as they wait in the queue for a while.

Please review a copy of the onboarding pack before submitting your stories. Our editors can publish them faster if you follow the publication rules.
As a benefit of fast publishing, your stories will start earning income and finding more readers quickly.
Please caption your photos and ensure that that they are not copyrighted: either belong to you or from free sources. Not captioning and using copyrighted photos waste our editors’ precious time and cause delays in publishing your stories.
