Writing. It's about being yourself. It's about expressing your own thoughts and ideas ... helping others do something by following your instructions ... perhaps sharing experiences ... telling your story.
Writing can be mentally stimulating and financially rewarding. But there's a lot more to writing than just the money. It's a way of life, with rewards far greater than those that money can bring.
Writing really is about being yourself.

Science and Technical Writing
Publish or perish! That's the war cry of many principals of academic and research facilities.
There's so much competition for researchers to advance in their careers that each one is looking for that advantage. Career advancement is often dependent on having articles published in peer-reviewed journals.
Learn how to plan and construct your articles. How do all the major sections of an article relate to the whole? What's the role of the editor? What's the role of the reviewers who will be asked to consider the suitability of your article?
There is a comprehensive checklist to ensure your article will be that much closer to being accepted for publication in a journal.
Writing For Radio
Are you ready for the challenge? The challenge of writing for radio ... writing your own radio drama, or radio documentary.
Would you like to write local news bulletins?
On community radio, there is a whole range of programs you can contribute to. Programs of your own choosing, and prepared in your own unique way. Write original material that listeners will want to hear.
Use radio as the unique art form that it is-writing for sound alone, creating vivid images with the word pictures you create. Not many art forms allow you to do that.
Writing Winning Essays
The good news is that writing winning essays-earning good marks for your efforts-is not much harder than writing poorly structured essays that will bring down your total marks for the semester.
Essays form an important part of most university and college qualifications. Marks are awarded for the way you write essays. A good essay means good marks, higher grades, and so on.
Remove the difficulties of writing essays. Plan your work. Make sure you understand the question. Address only the question you are asked to write about.
Earn those extra marks by writing winning essays every time.
