Daily Success Stories from ILLUMINATION

Variety on ILLUMINATION

500+ writers supporting 6935 readers

The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety. -William Somerset Maugham

Variety is the soul of pleasure. -Aphra Behn

Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure. -Francesco Petrarch

I want to talk about variety based on feedback today.

As I value the views our our readers, I create several easy online surveys for a selected group of our active followers. I will share my findings in my upcoming editorial updates under various themes. Today, I want to share a key finding on the question of “What is the key distinguishing factor of ILLUMINATION in your view?”. I compiled a sample and asked this question to 1000 selected readers. Over 70% of readers used the keyword “variety”.

This finding was not surprising to me, but it was assuring. I am pleased that our creative writers provide a wide variety of topics which are enjoyed by our readers each day.

Our distribution lists cover many topics each day. With an increased number of writers, our capability to produce more variety of topics on our publication is expected to enhance gradually. Our diversity focus is the enabler of producing content on a wide variety of topics.

Let’s check what topics we created today in the next section.

What did we create and distribute today?

We have two sets of curation list for our stories; one for non-fiction stories and one for poetry and fiction. Attached are the records for your enjoyment.
