Twenty years ago, I had my first piece of writing published in a national magazine, and I was on the path to Pulitzer Prize, er, pride. I’ll be celebrating this event with cake and republishing the article later this month, but first, some context. In 1997, I was 14 and in Year 9 (3rd year seniors) of high school. In […]

When it comes to writing blogs, people are often worried about how it should look, and how long it needs to be. It can seem daunting to sit down and write a post, especially if you compare your blog to others. It’s best to keep it short and sweet – get your message across clearly and succinctly. Your readers are […]
READ MOREI hope you’ve had a good break and looking forward to a busy and productive 2017. I’ve decided to have a theme for each month of the year, with a blog on a related topic every week. January is when most of us resolve to do something new or commit to doing something regularly. If you want to write more […]
READ MOREAs you’ll know if you’ve ever met me or read my About page, being a writer was all I wanted to do from a really young age.

Until a month […]

My content editorial planning is already underway. Content Editorial for 2017 I’m already working on […]

I’ve been reading a lot about content creation and repurposing and have found the following articles helpful. I’m still learning, so if you have any suggestions that you think I should read, please send them over! Kim Garst – Come up with 50 Content […]
READ MOREThought Leader can sound both exciting and vague, like a meaningless title bestowed on a senior executive or someone who’s mastered the newest social media platform. But perhaps thought leaders are people we want to know about, listen to, emulate and be inspired by, and can be found in all walks of life. The Thought Leadership Lab says this: “Thought […]
READ MORENatalie Sisson is currently running a 10 day blog challenge, so I’ve signed up to take part. I enjoyed my 90 day blog challenge last year, and I managed to post consistently, so I’m confident I can manage 10 days!

For some people, their niche – the area they want to focus on or specialise in – is obvious straight away. I’ve long admired those who always knew they wanted to be a doctor, or a gymnast, or an accountant (this must have been someone’s childhood dream?!) Those people can see their career path clearly ahead of them, knowing which […]
READ MOREIf you’d asked me on my fifth birthday what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “a writer.” By 12 I had my journalism career planned out (a stint in London, war correspondence) and at 19 had done the relevant training and work experience. Then real life got in the way, and I found a […]
