Whilst you might be conducting the interviews this week do they all need to be typed up and ready to go if your pushed for time.

Why not spread them out so the work load is easier

So you want to waste our time instead.

Only joking. I am not reliable and I am also quite selfish. There must be somebody around who has a heart.

I nominate TERENCE DOOLEY - the best in the business.

id like to say thank you for all the PM's i've recieved it greatly apreciated

Just submit them as usual, Adam.

Ben or I will sort them. As for your own progress, it's one of those learning humps that you just have to do yourself over time...if you haven't got time now, don't worry. Do a non-time sensitive piece and have a good go at that.

Wouldn't get out of bed for that money. Would get into bed for £50 ph. Ladies, form an orderly queue, or wrestle naked for the honour -- I'm easy.

Ba dum tish. You rack 'em up, DeeG!

Laugh in your Dreams Terry Dont think the queue would be that big lol

It's not wasting their time, it's their job. Writers write, editors edit. In that latter regard, that's where a great many websites lose credibility vs printed media. However, thankfully Ian McNeilly is one of the few website editors out there who does give submitted copy a going-over instead of just whacking it up verbatim.

I`ll do one for you. No worries.

Once its on the site, I'd just make a little time to compare the 'McNeilly-fied' version to your original. Highlighting the differences is a very useful exercise, and one that came from the top

Adam if you're stuck mate feel free to bung one over via e-mail and I'll take a look this aft.....

Exactly that ^

Compare the two versions, recognise and understand the differences, and I'd also recommend reading as much as you can of the printed media. It may "old fashioned", but in general terms a piece in a magazine or newspaper will still be of a higher quality than a website. In any craft or art, the consumption of it is as important as your own production of it.
