Poetic Profits

Poetic Profits

It’s National Poetry Day on 1st October 2020. I thought I’d chat to two writers about how poetry fits into their writing business. The poet Robert Graves once claimed, “There’s no money in poetry, but then there’s no poetry in

Updating My Assets

Maker Time

Lockdown affects us all differently. I’m amazed by the way some people are filling their time, whether it be learning a new language, doing some DIY or catching up with their reading. For me, I’ve been able to make huge

Testing, Testing, 1 … 2 … 3

I’ve been reading a lot recently about being a dictator. (No, not one of those authoritative types who’s clearly too big for his boots.) I’ve been looking into the art of dictating some of my writing to my computer. For
