What goes around comes around (well, sort of!)

This week, I was pleased to hear from a former student, Sue. She did the course Feature Writing for Magazines and Newspapers some time ago and then managed to make a transition into a career in writing. I was so thrilled that she felt she found the skills to make a change in her career.

It was great to hear from Sue this week. Sue is now a successful full time writer. Her team is looking to hire a new marketing writer and she asked me if I would include this in the newsletter/blog. Here is the information:
