| Introduction | Hello: I'm a writer and journalist, now teaching magazine and news reporting at Sheffield Hallam University. I learned my trade on a series of great regional newspapers in the north of England where all my editors drummed into me the importance of clear, concise and direct writing. These are skills I have been proud to practise - and now to hand on to others. Together with my friend Susan Pape, I have published two very successful books on news and feature writing: Newspaper Journalist: A Practical Introduction and Feature Writing: A Practical Introduction. Now we’re working on our first novel, provisionally titled My Fallen Friend, which we’re hoping to publish later this year. All good writing, whether it’s journalism or blogging or novel writing, is about good content, good use of language and suiting the structure to the needs and expectations of the audience. Follow my posts and I’ll pass on the secrets of writing like a professional. |
