100 blog posts for editors and writers

My 100th blog post! Browse all 99 of my previous posts for writers and editors, neatly categorised so you can find what you need.

I can barely believe I’ve reached this milestone. Thank you to everyone who has ever visited one of my posts, commented, or shared a link.

I blog around once a month about topics I would find interesting or useful as an editor and author. I know from my web analytics that you all find them helpful too.

So, in honour of my 100th post, here are all my posts so far, categorised by audience and topic so you can easily find what you need. A small number are listed more than once, as they straddle multiple categories.

NB. Most of the posts are ‘evergreen’, so the info is still relevant. A small number of articles may contain some out-of-date information (e.g. the ones about social media, because these platforms regularly change design, algorithm parameters and service in general). Please check the date of the blog post.
