If it doesn’t directly help you get a job in digital, it will certainly play an important part in getting you there. One of the deciding factors that helped me land my first job, was one of the articles I wrote while I was on trial at ManageWP. My blog was named after my favourite teenage movie “Not So Clueless”, and the article was all about Catherine the Great. This...
Some people are born natural storytellers and most of those people have one key thing in common; they embellish stories. How do I know this? My parents are masters of embellishment when it comes to stories. I was lucky to grow up with them, because everyday things like going to the supermarket became exciting when told by my parents. As I grew up I realised that some things weren’t exactly...
New year, fresh start! If you haven’t quite written down all of your New Year resolutions, let me add one more to your list.
One of the many things I learned at The Power of Storytelling conference in Romania, Bucharest, is that storytelling is the most democratic form of creativity.

I hadn’t given much thought as to why we all wanted to dress the same, we are all...
Inspiration is a fleeting thing, as most of you know, but a content calendar and post schedule rarely wait for you to be inspired to write. How do you write when you really have to and you are not feeling it? You master the art of structuring your article, and you rely on that to convey the information you have in an engaging tone.
Sometimes writing your own stories is much easier than having to edit someone’s. It’s a fine balancing act; giving constructive, actionable feedback to your author, without damaging their own style. The story you are editing needs to be engaging, in line with the business aims (if on a corporate blog), and maintain the unique style of the author. It’s a tough job. I want to...
