This is indeed an awesome list of amazing stories, as chosen by Kevin and his crowd-sourcing friends.
KK's a friend of Byliner, and all of the pieces from this list are also on Byliner.com, although organized by writer, for convenience. Thus, if you like a specific story, you can easily do a deep dive into that writer's full body of work, which often includes dozens more great stories. (Think of it as a Github or Dribble page for that writer.) And if you read a full-text story as a subscriber, the author actually splits all subscription revenue generated by their story. It's an exciting model, and we have more than two hundred of the world's best writers on our network already, selling 1M+ stories directly to their readers. You can explore some of our writers here:
