Editor’s Choice
Hand-Picked Articles #48
Chosen by the senior editors of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium
Dear Readers and Writers,
After reviewing the curated collection #32, published by ILLUMINATION before, we selected interesting stories that resonated with me from it so that you might find them easily and follow your favorite writers.
We hope you enjoy these eclectic stories covering numerous topics. I am inspired and motivated by the remarkable work of 19,500+ contributors to Illumination on Medium.
Today, it is the second year's birthday of ILLUMINATION so our writers and editors celebrate it. Illumination posted an editorial announcement earlier. Here is the story.
Illumination YouTube Coordinator prepared a video and linked it in his story. I hope you enjoy the great video Aiden prepared for our YouTube audience. He also attached the transcript for those who don’t have access to YouTube.
I loved his video and hope you enjoy it too. You may subscribe to our channel to get notified when we publish videos. Many writers are interested in introducing their stories on YouTube. Aiden coaches them via his publication Illumination on Youtube which you can join as a writer.
Jennifer Geer posted an interesting story that I enjoyed very much. Like her, I believe that there are so many options for readers. That’s why I love Illumination so much which caused me to cancel my other reading subscriptions.
In addition, Dr. Preeti Singh sends a birth story too.
We loved this poem from Josh Balerite Acol.
Many thanks for reading these stories. I linked my previous collections at the end of this post. You may also search for them at this link. I believe you will be surprised when you open these collections. They are full of interesting stories. In this post, I chose stories from the attached collection created by ILLUMINATION previously.
