Editor’s Choice
Hand-Picked Articles #53
Chosen by the technology editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium
Dear Readers and Writers,
After reviewing the curated collection #37, published by ILLUMINATION before, I selected remarkable stories and poems that resonated with me from it so that readers might find them easily and follow their favourite writers. I believe you will enjoy these eclectic stories covering a variety of topics. I am motivated by the remarkable work of 15,500+ contributors of Illumination on Medium.
To reduce the administrative workload for growing writers with new additions each day and speed up the onboarding process, ILLUMINATION editorial team decided to introduce writers daily starting from curated collection #37. From this collection onwards, I include the account IDs of new writers at the end of the posts so that readers can find them easily, follow them, and explore their stories. We believe some of these writers are already contributing to our publications.
We celebrate the second birthday of our publication this week. ILLUMINATION is now two years old. We appreciate the efforts of Illumination YouTube Coordinator who created an engaging and a meaningful video for our audience. Aiden helps YouTubers leveraging his new publication Illumination on Youtube that you may join as a writer and share your videos. He can be connected at Illumination Slack workspace.
Today, Aiden introduced one of our senior editors, Joe Luca on YouTube. I hope you will enjoy this great video too.
You may check the transcript in the attached story, if you don’t have access to YouTube.
You might check my previous collections at the end of this post. I also compiled them at this link. I believe you will be surprised with the variety and quality of stories when you open these great collections. Each collection is full of interesting, engaging, and informative pieces.
In this post, I selected stories from the attached collection created by ILLUMINATION previously.
You might also check other collections of ILLUMINATION from the following link to explore more writers. This is our 2022 collection.
