Curated Collection for FoMs
Reading the Stories of 50+ Influential Writers Via Their Captivating Interviews Inspired Me
Featuring interview stories I read recently that you may enjoy as well.
One of my hobbies is reading biographies and interviews with influential people. I have been reading such content for over 60 years. In the last few months I found many inspiring interviews conducted by Dr Mehmet Yildiz on ILLUMINATION publications. As a curator and avid reader, I found each story unique giving me new perspectives on their writing styles and a glimpse into their interesting lives.
Apart from curating content for Friends of Medium, reading interview stories of writers captivates me for several reasons. Firstly, they offer a unique opportunity to delve into the lives and experiences of writers, providing insights resonating with me on a personal level.
Secondly, interviews often reveal the thought processes, challenges, and successes of the interviewees, offering valuable lessons and inspiration. Additionally, interview stories promote a sense of connection, understanding, compassion, and empathy as I relate to the struggles and triumphs of the writers being interviewed.
Some writers pour their hearts and souls in these stories. Therefore, well-crafted interview stories have the power to inform, educate, and entertain simultaneously, making them a compelling genre for various audiences.
What sets these interviews apart is the opportunity to explore the profiles of these writers and uncover the compelling stories they share during the interview. Without reading these interviews, I wouldn’t have discovered them on such a vast platform.
Therefore I want to feature 50+ interviews I read and enjoyed recently. I will start with the most recent ones. After reading the recent ones I felt compelled to read the previously published ones. I will read more from the collection of Dr Yildiz and will add them here.
