Testimonials for Writers and Published Authors
A sample testimonial for Dr. Gabriella Kőrösi, published author by Dr Mehmet Yildiz, chief editor of Illumination Integrated Publications

Dear Readers and Writers,
In this post, we briefly touch on the significance of testimonials for writers and published authors and provide a sample testimonial created by Dr. Mehmet Yildiz honoring Dr. Gabriella Korosi. She is a prolific writer on Medium and author of numerous books.
Dr. Yildiz posted an inspiring article titled Support for Writers from Writers: How to give acceptable testimonials to fellow writers in 2020
In this story, he said:
“Undoubtedly, human beings starve for appreciation and recognition. This basic survival mechanism is embedded in our limbic system. Our emotional brain is hungry for recognition. If acknowledgment comes from a peer, it may even be more satisfying and meaningful for the receiver. Peer recognition is widely studied and discussed in the literature of various disciplines.”
Dr Yildiz not only supports writers but also encourages them to support each other for mutual growth. He published an inspiring article turning envy to admiration within this context. How to Replace Envy with Admiration: Transformational steps for mental health and excelling in the spiritual journey. In another inspiring story titled The Role of Karma in Mental Health and Well-Being, he believes that “what we give returns us in different ways.”
We obtained his permission to publish this meaningful and supportive testimonial Dr Yildiz provided for Dr. Gabriella Kőrösi, who is a prolific writer, publication owner on Medium, author of multiple books, and a YouTuber.
Testimonial for Dr. Gabriella Kőrösi by Dr Yildiz
“I met Dr. Kőrösi when she joined my publications on Medium. She is the author of multiple books and wrote hundreds of articles on many different platforms. Dr. Kőrösi writes and publishes on Medium for numerous publications, including her publication Dancing Elephants Press.
One of the publications she publishes her books is Illumination Book Chapters on Medium. I am the chief editor of this publication. She had published chapters from her previous book “Our Society: Addiction and More Uncovered, including her stories from everyday people.” In addition, she publishes articles on Illumination, which is one of the most significant publications on Medium contributed by 14K+ writers and followed by over 52K readers. Dr. Kőrösi’s profile and articles were featured by our senior editors in our publications multiple times.
When Dr. Kőrösi published her first chapter in Illumination, I was grateful for introducing her Addiction and More Uncovered book to Illumination Book Chapters as I found it a critical topic for society. The book is engaging and informative, covering various aspects of addiction. In addition, Dr. Kőrösi also published her poetry, art, and short story book “If I could be” on Illumination Book Chapters. Besides, a few of the chapters of Gabriella’s new book, Darkness and Light, had also been published on Illumination.
I was gratefully a beta reader for her current book Darkness and Light. In this book, Dr. Kőrösi shares stories from 2021 while the COVID 19 Pandemic was still affecting our lives globally. She shares her personal experiences and addresses many creative and practical applications that can be included in everyday life. I believe that there is something for every shrewd reader in this book.
This new book is divided into eight parts, including inspirational and motivational stories, self-improvement, personal experiences, nature and travel stories, food stories, recipes, fun stories, perspectives from a writer’s eye, and health and healing stories. In closing, Dr. Kőrösi talks about complex and challenging topics such as human suffering, death, and facing our mortality that I found eye-opening and insightful.
In addition, Dr. Kőrösi is present on YouTube and has created video collections from some of her addiction book chapters available on YouTube and in our publication on Medium called Illumination on YouTube. I highly recommend reading books and articles of Dr. Kőrösi and watching her videos as they are packed with information as well as beautifully crafted with engaging style for her readers and viewers.
As a beta reader and editorial reviewer of her books and articles on Medium, it was an absolute pleasure for me to give this testimonial for Dr. Kőrösi and her inspiring content.”
Dr. Mehmet Yildiz,
Chief Editor of Illumination Integrated Publications on Medium.
We also introduced Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi and her new book “Darkness and Light” on Illumination recently.
