Honestly, I would have given up my career as a writer if it weren't for the encouragement I got from Illumination.

When I became an active writer on medium 4 months ago, I self published my stories and they were mostly crap. But when I joined ILLUMINATION, things changed. The editors were kind to edit my work and guided me on how to structure my story. Two days ago, my Story in ILLUMINATION got curated for the first time.

Though I have 5 other stories curated (4 in Virago, 1 in Ascent) before that of Illumination.

By point is, had ILLUMINATION not given me the opportunity to share my work, I would not have improved in my writing skills and possibly would have given up writing for good. Thanks Dr Mehmet Yildiz, you're indeed true leader.
