Im currently running low on books to read for my reviewing, so I thought Id try something a little different for my article this week. What follows are a list of tips that may or may not be of interest to you, some short snippets that I hope will make you think, and in some cases act. I do not expect you to agree with them all, and to that end I welcome any comments that may offer a different viewpoint to my own. Some of, if not all of, the following topics also warrant articles in themselves, which I will get round to doing eventually.
5. Sell Yourself
In an age when you have direct access to millions of people, you would be foolish not to capitalise on the opportunities that this offers. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIN, even other blogging platforms like Tumblr and Wordpress, they all offer an opportunity to showcase not only your work, but yourself to a greater audience. And obviously the chance to become a writer with What Culture, whose doors are always open for enthusiastic, passionate and opinionated people (

They all have their independent advantages of course, and it would take a longer blog post than this one to try and outline them all, it may be something I do in the future, but thats going to require me striving into the realms of Tumblr first. My point is that its all very well being a good writer, but there are thousands of good writers out there, and theyre all clamouring for a book deal and attention from the masses, youre never going to get that attention unless you put yourself out there first.
