Outstanding Stories — Volume 88
Selected stories from top writers of ILLUMINATION-Curated
Dear Readers and Writers,
We selected outstanding stories for your weekend reading.
First, we apologize for not being able to post curated collections from our special publication Illumination-Curated this month. Our editorial team had to focus on publishing activities to clear an enormous backlog.
Unfortunately, several of our editors were unwell. Gratefully, some of them recovered. Even though Illumination Integrated has 105 volunteer editors, we can only add 30 of them to Illumination, our most prominent publication supporting 16,000+ writers on Medium.
Illumination supports all levels of writers, from beginners to accomplished. So, the purpose is to allow new writers to learn from experienced ones.
If you are a writer of Illumination, a Medium member, and have time to give back to this vast writing/reading community, you might join our editorial team to support your fellow writers. You may contact Dr Mehmet Yildiz, our chief editor on the Slack Workspace.
Our goal in this series is to provide a reading list and to create visibility of stories posted by our accomplished writers. In addition, these collections serve as educative stories for our new writers.
During this month, we posted collections from Illumination. Here are the links to the recent collections for those who missed them.
The last five curated collections from ILLUMINATION main:
Curated Collection #132, Curated Collection #131, Curated Collection #130, Curated Collection #129, Curated Collection #128.
You might find the links to recent ones by the ILLUMINATION Amplifier.
Hand-Picked Articles #141, Hand-Picked Articles #142, Hand-Picked Articles #143, Hand-Picked Articles #144, Hand-Picked Articles #145, Hand-Picked Articles #146, Hand-Picked Articles #147, Hand-Picked Articles #148, Hand-Picked Articles #149, Hand-Picked Articles #150.
Here are the recent collections from ILLUMINATION-Curator.

Outstanding Stories Originally Published on Illumination-Curated
As we allow, some writers transferred their stories to their personal publications to introduce them to a new audience. We support them. Our chief editor recommends our contributing writers create their own publications.
Dr. Yildiz sees our publications as a tool for our writers’ growth and our readers’ enjoyment. Our contributors can remove and resubmit their stories. They can also leave our publications with no obligations and our blessings at any time.
You might contact Dr. Yildiz on Slack if you need support for setting up your publication and managing your subscribers. He helped many writers and promoted their publications, as documented in this collection titled Why Writers Need Personal Publications. Here is a link to the personal publication of Dr. Yildiz as a sample.
