I’d be interested in looking at guest writing for you. Please take a look at my site for an idea of what I’m like: http://www.matthewhayward.co.uk

Welcome, Matt! Thank you for posting. I would love to have you as a guest author. If you have a post to share, please betterwriters@gmail.com” rel=”nofollow”>email it to me. Since this is my first adventure in blogging, and the site is still being fleshed out, there may be a few technical glitches at first, but they will get ironed out over the next few days. I enjoyed reading your blog and have added it to the blogroll here.
My hope is that this will be an interactive site where we learn together. I’m considering adding a section where writers may post their work for feedback, as soon as I figure out how!
Hi! Thanks for following me on Twitter. I really love your insights and blog. I would be interested in posting a guest entry though I do not have a blog of my own to reciprocate (at least, not yet!). I’ve been writing poetry and fiction short stories since I was 8 years old and have had a few published here and there in local journals and magazines. I’m currently trying to re-enter the job market after being at home with my child for 2 years and am trying to leverage all the grant and proposal writing I did as a fundraiser and grant writer to make a job change into editing and proofreading. Even though I am a grammar freak, I need polishing so I am currently taking some online classes to help refine my skills and bolster my qualifications. I’d be glad to talk about the emotional barriers I have had to overcome in order to justify writing as a career or how humbling it is to take grammar classes again at age 34.
It’s not necessary to have a blog of your own to author a post here. I know how tough it is in today’s job market, but fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities for writers. I’m sure our readers would be very interested in reading about your challenges and what you are doing to overcome them. Kudos to you for taking the bull by the horns and enrolling in online classes to sharpen your skills. I know I would like to learn more about grant writing, so I hope you’ll consider writing about that as well.
As they say, “A writer writes.” I try to write something non-work related every day. This weekend I wrote a review of a show that I went to Friday night. You can read it on Facebook here. Please send me a friend request and I will friend you back.
If you are considering creating your own blog, I highly recommend Problogger for solid advice for beginning bloggers. I just joined the “31 Days to a Better Blog” challenge.
