Written on
Dear Readers and Writers,
I have been exploring and presenting stories from ILLUMINATION, having shared 70 collections thus far, and I will continue to champion the writers and readers of this exceptional publication. My latest collection is aptly named “Hand-Picked Articles,” as it features only those stories that deeply resonate with me. Each day, I encounter remarkable narratives within ILLUMINATION-Curated, and I hope you find as much enjoyment in them as I do. A special thanks to Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, the curator of ILLUMINATION, along with the dedicated editors, for their leadership and support of this unique platform that amplifies the voices of our talented writers.
Today, ILLUMINATION editors had the opportunity to interview Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, seeking his insights for emerging writers. We hope you appreciate the wisdom shared in this insightful interview, which reflects his experiences as a reader, editor, writer, and mentor on Medium.
