18 tips on writing a Press Release & Bios
What is your dream right now? What is the one project you talk and dream about and yet you have not done anything about this week, month or year? I do understand. This is the age of writing a novel and self publishing, a song & putting it onto CD Baby & iTunes, recording YouTube […]
As a creative, not only do you need to be talented and well practised at your art, be it as a novelist, actor, musician or filmmaker but you also have to be able to use all the relevant tools for marketing and ideally making your art yourself. Basic video, audio, photo editing and website admin […]

Do you let your day and workflow be dictated by your email inbox, post and telephone calls? I have a long list of stuff to do from updating my showreel and doing a voice reel to reconnecting with those I met at Cannes and the sheer weight of what to do is oppressive. I do know […]
