Editor’s Choice
Hand-Picked Articles #211
Chosen by the content curators of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium for avid readers

Dear Readers and Writers,
We selected excellent pieces for your enjoyment today. This collection covers eclectic stories from our experienced contributors. We believe you will find interesting stories in this collection. Thank you for reading and providing feedback on these great stories.
ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications are inclusive and diverse, supporting 19,000+ contributors. Different levels of writers (from absolute beginners to most accomplished ones) delight readers with their informative and engaging content.
Apart from reviewing and publishing these stories, our volunteer editorial and curation team creates visibility for them in multiple ways. They perform these tasks as a giveback activity. They are not paid.
Well-written content always finds new readers in our publications. We don’t allow them to be dusted and expire on this platform.
Our goal is to support writers in building a larger audience by collaborating with avid readers following our publications on Medium. Therefore, we create necessary visibility using our volunteer resources.
ILLUMINATION editors posted a comprehensive collection recently.
In addition, the ILLUMINATION team will create a new collection featuring a single writer, including their high-quality and engaging stories that did not receive desired results.
We informed our writers about the removal of the “chosen for further distribution” label from the stories. So writers will not be informed whether their stories are selected or not anymore.
Details of the plan are in the attached story.
We are sorry to hear about your dropping stats. It looks like all writers got affected. Details are in the attached bulletin linking to the Medium’s formal announcement.
Is Further Distribution on Medium, RIP? We Have No Clarity Yet.

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.
ILLUMINATION provided guidance to new writers on collection #133.
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.
Let’s Meet Our Editors Who Published These Stories
The following stories cover the profiles of our volunteer editors. These volunteer editors are the ones reviewing and publishing the stories in these collections. They are from various time zones clearing the publication queue on their precious time daily.
