		<description><![CDATA[Whether it&#8217;s at a careers conference, or via online mentoring services, I&#8217;m often asked for tips on how to get into the business that is journalism and writing. It&#8217;s a bit of a loaded question because, unlike many more vocational careers, writing for a living doesn&#8217;t really come with an easily-defined path. What&#8217;s more, different [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to writing, people often talk about &#8216;finding your voice&#8217; &#8211; it&#8217;s a phrase that sounds a bit, well, up its own arse if you&#8217;re not someone who enjoys words. Now when Christopher Hitchens writes, I listen. In the June 2011 edition of Vanity Fair, Hitchens examines what is meant by &#8216;a writer&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The World&#8217;s Greatest Books Retold Through Twitter, aka Twitterature, hit our doormat earlier this week. A clever, yet bizarre little tome in which some of the most revered pieces of literature are cut up into 140-character chunks and spewed out at speed. Thus, if you&#8217;ve never read, say Dante&#8217;s Inferno, you &#8216;may&#8217; be able to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Really enjoyed the Reader&#8217;s Editor column in Monday&#8217;s Guardian about accents on foreign words. As a linguist, writer and sub, this ticks so many boxes &#8211; the difficulty, but the importance of making sure that the correct accents are placed on foreign words. The shout that often comes up, when writers, subs etc miss the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Olympics reminded me of some long-forgotten nugget of totally useless trivia that I learned while studying for my A Level in Contemporary History. My teacher for World History 1945- the present day was Robert Swann &#8211; a bearded chap who was obscenely intelligent. His knowledge was quite remarkable and he&#8217;d wander into the lesson [...]]]></description>
