5 years ago - it took me 6 months to build up the courage to email The Quietus & ask if I could write for them 5 years later ( and despite not writing for them regularly) They are still giving me so much support and great advice I have no journo/ writing qualifications, I starting ‘writing’ in my 30’s. I’ve never written for a newspaper or magazine - and this kind of support means the world. Honestly, having had a huge crisis of confidence in the last few months ( and not writing a thing) JD of course gave me the best advice.... When you find a good editor folks ( who genuinely wants to see you succeed ) stick to them like glue ( I still have all the essays he sent me on how to interview and review properly) He also just happens to be a lovely human being... Read from bottom up - good advice for anyone frankly.... #writingadvice #besteditor #thequietus #musicwriting #johndoran #bestadvice #supportforwriters #fortheloveofwriting
