Chosen by the content curators of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
Today, we selected interesting and informative stories representing various writing styles reflecting on multiple topics. Thank you for reading these beautiful pieces these creative writers share to entertain and inform you.
ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications strive to be inclusive and diverse, supporting 18,000+ contributors. Different levels of writers, from absolute beginners to the most accomplished ones, delight our readers with their informative and engaging content.
While giving many reading options to our readers, our other goal is to help the writers build a larger audience by creating visibility for their profiles and stories. We encourage collaboration by cross-pollinating all levels of writers with readers. Therefore, these collections include stories of both accomplished and aspiring writers giving a beautiful and diverse collage.
ILLUMINATION editors posted a new newsletter to update our progress in January 2023. The key points are posting one story daily and submitting quality stories that do not consume too much time for our editors.
If you are not a member of Medium, you may read it on Substack and subscribe to our free newsletter to get monthly updates.
After reviewing, informing writers, and publishing their stories, our editorial and curation team also creates visibility for the great stories of our inspiring writers in multiple ways. Well-written, informative, and engaging content always finds new readers in our publications.
Thank you for your time and meaningful engagement in these chosen stories. You might search your favorite authors via a keyword search (e.g., Ctrl F in PC).

The key point for new contributors is to review the onboarding pack, as it includes publication-specific information for a smooth transition. We 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 the 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.
We accepts both draft and self-published stories. However, editors give priority to drafts as these stories need to find readers, waiting in the queue for a while.
