CURATED COLLECTION
ILLUMINATION Reading Club #3
Chosen stories from writers of Illumination Integrated Publications on Medium for avid readers
Dear Readers and Writers,
Today, we selected some engaging and educative stories from Illumination-Curated, supporting experienced writers to give a quick taste to our new readers. Our goal is to create visibility for some engaging and inspiring stories and increase reading times for these writers.
In 2022 we created an initiative called Reading Club for Members, but due to our hectic workload, we couldn’t promote it. This weekend we allocated a few hours and selected valuable stories from regular writers of Illumination-Curated.
If you have previously published several posts on Illumination, Synergy, Book Chapters, or our other publications and can follow Medium’s distribution guidelines, you may join Illumination-Curated as a writer. Details are in the attached story.
We also introduce new writers joining our publications at the end of this post. Please check their profiles and explore their stories. You might be surprised to find some talents.
ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications are diverse and inclusive, supporting 20K+ writers. Our goal is to give curated reading options to valued readers and to help the writers build their audience by creating visibility for their profiles and stories. We also blog our curated lists.
We encourage collaboration via our Slack Workspace by cross-pollinating all levels of writers with readers of many topics. You can share the links of your stories in a channel titled:
Please engage with the stories of other writers and nominate your favorite stories of other writers in the channel called #featured on Slack workspace with a brief explanation for nomination.
Our editors compile collections regularly.
For example, ILLUMINATION editors recently posted a new collection.
The ILLUMINATION Amplifier team posted the attached collection.
Other editors also compiled various collections from different publications.
