To anyone who likes to read my blog or subscribes to the feed (yes, I’m talking to you): I’ve decided to move my blog.

My new weblog home is now here: glennhead.blogspot.com

I’ve moved because it’s cheaper to have a site hosted for you by Blogger than to pay to have your site hosted on UK2.net! Simple economics.

Warminster is neither the Serengeti nor the Sahara but, just for today, the sun has hitch-hiked [...]

Duotrope – a writer’s market treasure trove

July 3, 2009

One of the greatest problems I faced, as a writer, was that of finding appropriate markets for my work. You see, quite often the work I produce is of mixed genres, and is not easily placed. Finding that e-zine, website or plain ol’ magazine publisher wasn’t easy.
It’s still not easy. But I have found a [...]
