Out of 145 volunteer editors, a team of 58 volunteer curators developed this new service to enhance story visibility. Each curator nominates a few stories daily from their reading lists, and our lead ILLUMINATION-Curators compile them into collections for our readers. However, we can only include a limited number of stories to maintain manageable post lengths.

> Our lead curators include them in lists, a fantastic Medium feature. When you see your stories in lists, you can save them, share them on social media, link to them, comment, and like the list for enhanced visibility. The curation process requires significant time, so we appreciate your support as you can provide.

Many editors, including our chief editor Dr. Yildiz, have also compiled lists of stories they have read from our publication. We will showcase these lists in our collections. Here are recent curated pieces by Dr. Yildiz from his tech account Dr. Mehmet Yildiz (Tech):

• Building a Synergistic Tech, Business, and Leadership Community — Part III
• Building a Synergistic Tech Community — Part II
• Extended Benefits to Write for Technology Hits Publication with New Leadership Commitment

> Please note that these stories are nominated by volunteer editors (who are also writers and readers) on this platform. Thus, the stories in this collection reflect their collective taste. As a publication, ILLUMINATION maintains a neutral stance toward all published stories, and it is impossible to feature over a million published stories. However, we will strive to amplify as many great stories as possible almost daily from now on, based on the availability of our volunteers.
