Written on
Chapter 1: A Celebration of Boosted Stories
In March 2024, we proudly present a selection of expertly crafted and influential narratives that cater to dedicated readers while inspiring budding writers. This month’s collection comes with fresh entries, curated through the nominations of our chief editor, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, along with boost nominator Aiden (from Illumination Gaming) and the support of our consulting editors from ILLUMINATION Publications. Notably, our boosted stories have been recognized by Medium as exceptional pieces.
As we reach the end of March, we’re excited to share numerous new boosted stories, responding to requests from our readers, particularly our Friends of Medium. These stories are not only valuable due to their editorial curation but also because they have passed the rigorous standards set by Medium curators. We encourage you to share the provided links, inviting more readers to join Medium.

Section 1.2: The Evolution of ILLUMINATION-Curated
Most boosted stories reside within ILLUMINATION-Curated, a unique platform that has been showcasing high-quality, relatable, and insightful narratives from talented authors since 2020. This publication was established to feature the works of seasoned and accomplished writers.
In 2023, Medium underwent significant changes, prompting our chief editor to align our publishing strategy with Medium's evolving direction for 2024. As of October 2023, ILLUMINATION-Curated commenced the nomination process for boosting stories, and you can find more details in an interview with Dr. Yildiz conducted by our editorial team.
