I am currently seeking to engage a team of bloggers who will be able to contribute one or two postings each month about their experiences as writers and Post Grad students. We also welcome submissions to the following sections:
My Favourite Exercise
Writing exercises that have helped develop your writing skills. (When making a submission, please give a little background information, telling us where you first came across the exercise and how it has helped to improve your writing.)
Tips, Tricks and Techniques
Useful advice such as setting up a writing routine, getting inside the head of a character, creating intrigue in an opening paragraph, finding inspiration, or anything else you feel is worth sharing.
Recommended Reading
Have you just read a short story that you can’t stop thinking about? Is there a story you read as a child that still influences you in some way? Have you recently discovered a new writer or found new inspiration in a well-known classic? Pass the word! Share your love of the Short Story in 500 words or less and help us all to discover something new.
Words of Wisdom
These can be either your own writerly musings, or inspirational quotes from another writer (please reference, if possible).
If you are interested in contributing to any of these sections, submissions are now being accepted. The forum will be going live in September and blogging will commence at that time. Anyone interested in participating in the blog should contact me now for further details at LWESTRO1@chi.ac.uk. You can also find us on Facebook at Rough Draft.
We look forward to hearing from you.
