If you’re new here, this post is a short guide to what I write about and where to begin.
Most of the writing here falls into a few broad strands:
Writing craft
Essays on dramaturgy for writers, aspects of craft, and the long-term habits that support serious writing. Two good posts to start with are A simple explanation of dramaturgy and an account of a three day workshop with theatre director Thomas Ostermeier.
Learning & productivity
Notes on how creative people learn, teach, and manage their time. Check out this piece on approaching your work using approaches from Cal Newport's book Deep Work.
Digital practice
Practical posts on publishing online, SEO, and building a sustainable digital. The pillar post for this is SEO for writers, creatives and arts organisations.
