We selected great stories for your enjoyment today. We post these featured collections on social media to allow readers to follow their favorite writers and share them after reading easily.
FYI, Twitter readers can access Medium stories without a paywall. However, they might bring new members so it is believed valuable to share.

ILLUMINATION provided guidance to new writers on collection #128.
The key consideration for new contributors is to review the onboarding pack quickly, as it includes publication-specific information for a smooth transition. I attached it below.
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.
Please Note that not captioning images and using copyrighted photos will lead to rejection of stories.
We are sorry for the publishing delays. 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.
ILLUMINATION accepts both draft and self-published stories. But, editors give priority to drafts as these stories need to find readers waiting in the queue for a while.
Today, I selected and compile great pieces based on stories I found in collection #111 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.
