Finding Time to Write

It’s one of those excuses that every writer uses at some point: I don’t have time to write. And the thing is, we all know in our hearts that it’s bullshit. I recently wrote an article on Writer’s Edit about making the most of your writing time. I didn’t realise that soon enough, I would … Continue reading →

WANTED: Assistant Editor

I thought I would totally apply for this, until I got to the end of the ad and saw “A background in beauty and wellness will be favourably looked upon. (Do you swatch?)”. Yeah, I’m out. But I’m sure someone out there will see this and jump at it. The Intermedia Group are looking for … Continue reading →

Yes, you read correctly. HOYTS Cinema are looking for someone to write for their “Posters, blogs, social posts and websites” and “drive the tone of voice for HOYTS in a variety of mediums; from print and digital to video and point of sale”.

In Defence of Copywriting

When I tell people about my months as a copywriting intern I usually get one of two responses: Oh, cool. That’ll look good on your resume. Oh, cool. But it sounds kind of boring.

for all the compulsive wordsmiths

For some of us, writing is what we do for leisure, pleasure, happiness. For others, it pays the bills and earns us ego-boosts. For me, it’s a mix of the two. I have a love/hate relationship with writing. I hate starting, but it’s such a buzz when I’m in the midst of it. That’s why … Continue reading →

Intern at My Child Magazine

It’s been a while since I browsed the job search sites (my body took revenge on me last week and sent me to hell – I came back with tonsillitis, a small price to pay) and when I came across this journalism internship I knew I had to tell y’all about it. My Child is … Continue reading →

101 Best Websites for Writers

I was browsing writing advice for story beginnings and hooks on Writer’s Digest and saw their big button advertising the 101 Best Websites for Writers. It’s only recently that I’ve been subscribing and following as many writing websites as I can, so seeing this little compilation of some of the best in the business got … Continue reading →

Wanted: writers for Your Friends House

A long time ago (last year maybe), I came across a job ad for Your Friends House. They wanted bloggers to write fun and frisky articles for them and I always remembered their blog being really cool – like if the cool kids in high school wanted to share CD’s and skirts and funny stories with you … Continue reading →

Wanted: fashion writers for Lovage

The call for contributors for Lovage Magazine has been slapping me in the face for almost a month (see the ad here). I’m not a fashion writer. I spend most of my days in my pyjamas. But I thought, ‘Hey, don’t hog the info, let some fashionista out there have a go’ and now I … Continue reading →
