Chapter 1: Editor's Selection

Greetings, Readers!

Happy Monday! Your encouraging feedback has motivated me to share more stories from my reading list. I find immense joy in showcasing articles from ILLUMINATION that resonate with me. If you missed any, you can explore the latest selections in my new collections. I trust you will enjoy diving into the fascinating narratives from the talented writers featured here.

In this post, I present links to the hand-picked articles included in my collection: A Selection of Curated Articles. It brings me joy to support both the writers and readers of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium.

This year, ILLUMINATION has compiled and shared 54 curated collections. Sifting through vast publications can be challenging, but these thoughtfully organized collections simplify my task. As I’ve mentioned before, I gravitate towards pieces that are engaging, informative, and inspiring, as they provide both knowledge and entertainment.

The stories I’ve selected for your enjoyment come from ILLUMINATION, a prominent publication that showcases a diverse group of around 14,000 writers on Medium. If you're interested in contributing as a writer, please submit a request through this link.
