Weekly Editorial Picks by Ann Venkataraman

Stories to spark new ideas and cheer up your week!

Happy Monday to everyone!

My name is Ann and I am on the editorial team for ILLUMINATION magazine. (Bio here) Every Monday, I present a weekly editorial pick of 15 hand-picked stories, submitted in the previous week, that stood out for their brilliant content. Was on a brief hiatus last month after the birth of my gorgeous baby girl! :D

The purpose of this list is to present a collection of articles and poems on a variety of topics to expand your reading list and spark new ideas, gain new perspectives, and follow new content/ writers. Diversity in reading opens you to new pathways of thinking that help with all facets of life — writing, work, career, innovation, and relationships!

So kickstart your week with these fabulous articles that inspire, motivate, teach, and add joyous sparkle to your life!

[If you have questions about the submission process or want to participate in one of our writing challenges, then links are added at the end of this article.]

As always, a gentle reminder - this reading selection is slightly subjective based on what stood out to me in the stories we received last week. I have excluded stories that were already featured in our previous “spotlight” sections and this list does not have any writer bios. I also left out news, horror, or anything negative, to add a deliberate dose of positivity to your lives!

If you want to read about our viral or curated stories or learn from our Top Writers, then please see the aggregated links at the end.
