Look What Aiden Found Today Episode #7
My favorite stories plus community-nominated pieces tailored for avid readers of ILLUMINATION Publications on Medium
Being a writer and editor here is a wild ride. Today, I got my ticket to virtual stardom. Who knew? There’s a digital doppelgänger mimicking my every keystroke, a clone-me roaming the web. It is like finding out you have an identical twin in cyberspace. Online escapades never cease to amaze me. I wrote a tale about it. I hope it tickles your funny bone. But hey, mind those digital copycats please!
Great news! I’ve bundled up all my lists into one tidy little story. It is a treasure trove of fantastic reads waiting for you. Please consider sharing the love on your socials and dive into these gems! You won’t regret it.
ILLUMINATION editors introduced a great writer, Somil Gupta. I hope you check his profile and explore his delicious stories.
I spent some time with other editors, and we added them and announced new contributors in a bulletin. It took us a lot of time as adding writers from the registration portal to Medium is a manual task and time-consuming. So, let’s give a warm welcome to new writers.
As we navigate these bustling times, I extend my gratitude for your patience. Our team of volunteers is diligently working through the influx of stories, aiming to review and publish each piece while welcoming new writers into our fold. It’s a labor of love that demands time and effort.
We lack dedicated staff and financial resources as our pubs don’t generate any income, but volunteers generously contribute their personal time, like a charitable organization. Hence, our services may not match the premium standards, but rest assured, we are committed to providing a platform for your voices to be heard. Please remember that we support 25K+ writers, as mentioned in our Monthly Updates.
Thank you for your understanding as we endeavor to curate and amplify your stories with care and dedication.
To inform new writers, our special publication, ILLUMINATION-Curated, now is a boost nominating pub You may learn about How ILLUMINATION Publications Support the BOOST Program.
In addition, I am also grateful that my little publication, ILLUMINATION Gaming, was chosen as a boost-nominating publication. I wrote about my goals and how I can help our writers in a story titled ILLUMINATION Gaming Is Part of the Boost Program Now. So I look forward to helping you.
If you missed this recent interview featuring Luay Rahil, here is a link for you. His stories can nicely surprise you.
I liked the comments on my eye-opening story about Vocal. Thank you, all readers. You inspire me to do a better job here.
ILLUMINATION-Curators compiled boosted stories in December, so you might find some fascinating stories from this collection. I also chose to publish this collection on ILLUMINATION-Curated as our readers enjoy curated collections, especially ones nominated by the community. Here is their treasure trove: Collection of Boosted Stories from ILLUMINATION-Curated
ILLUMINATION-Curators wrote about that exceptional story by Mike Grindle today. I hope you will get a chance to read it and pay attention to your privacy. It confirmed one of the reasons I don’t use my full name on Medium or social media.
Our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz, upgraded our publication accounts ILLUMINATION and ILLUMINATION-Curators, as well as his tech account Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech), making them Friends of Medium. Reading from these accounts will allow writers to earn four times more. While curating stories, we read many stories from these accounts, so it will be great for writers. Details are in his story by Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech)
As you might have noticed, our senior editor Mike Broadly, DHSc joined the curation team and created new collections from his favorite stories that you may adore. He has amazing taste as an avid reader and has already created seven collections in such a short time. I loved his new collection earlier today.
Please find his collections with the associated lists and share them on your socials so we can bring more readers to Medium.
Here are links to Mike’s collections: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7
Our supportive editor, famous nutritionist, Elin Melaas, created her first collection earlier. Elin also created the Invisible Series.
ILLUMINATION editors introduced some great writers. You may check out their profiles and explore their fabulous stories.
Meet Seda Anbarcı, Meet Dr Emmanuel Ogamdi, Meet Jozsef Kovacs, Meet Davor Katusic. Meet Thomas Allen Moon, Meet Sneha Nagre, Meet Zondra Dos Anjos, Meet Ani Vals Meet Ammara Hassan. Meet Sridhar Pai Tonse — Leadgen Coach- Tech Startups Chosen Stories from Omni Essence, Editorial Profile of InYah
Our editors enjoy stories and nominate them for these curated collections. You may check editor profiles in this collection.
I love reading writer biographies and curating them. If you write any bio story please let me know so I can add them to my collection.
Dr Mehmet Yildiz reviewed an interesting book of Dr Emmanuel Ogamdi. If you are a book author, you may contact Dr Yildiz as he really does great reviews. He even wrote the foreword of my gaming book. Here is his great review today.
As mentioned a few weeks ago, I created a Discord server for our writers to collaborate and share their story links, so you are all welcome to join. We already have great fun there. It is not as big as our Slack, but it will be one day, as Discord is a lot of fun.
Daily List for Sharing — Volume 38
I volunteered to create a list of this collection. So you can easily share this collection on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, or Quora.
Let’s all engage in this list and at least tweet it so that more readers can find these stories. It is the purpose of these curated lists. We appreciate your wonderful support for these writers who pour their hearts and souls into these stories to delight you. Here are the nominated stories from avid readers today.
Chosen Stories from ILLUMINATION Writers Today
As we mentioned before, “these stories are nominated by volunteering editors (also writers and readers) on this platform, so the stories in this collection reflect their collective tastes. As a publication, ILLUMINATION keeps a neutral position for all published stories, and it is impossible to feature over one million published stories. But we will do our best to amplify as many great stories as possible almost daily from now on based on the availability of our volunteers.”
Here are our wonderful and nominated stories today! I believe you will find something that will satisfy your reading needs.
