I can't believe that it's been a week since I last posted. Sorry about that.
It's been a busy week and weekend. I've been researching material for a number of features:-
1) "Two Dogs and Their Man" An article about a young man who is supported by two 'assistance' dogs. Aimed at 'Able' magazine.
2) "Thames Traditional Boat Festival". An article on steam-powered boats, 1,500 words, and 15 photographs*, commissioned by "Old Glory" magazine.
3) "Thames Traditional Boat Festival". An article about the boats at the festival. 250 words and 10 photographs*, commissioned by "Boating New Zealand" magazine,
4) "Newfs in Action". A speculative article of 1,500 words and 20 photographs* about the Newfoundland Dogs rescuing drowning victims in lakes, ponds, and rivers. To be submitted to "Your Dog" magazine.
5) "Bournville 5". A speculative article of 1000 words and 3 archive photographs to be submitted to "Canals Online" online magazine. The article is about my grandfather George Wiseman, who operated a horse-drawn narrowboat on the Shropshire Union Canal in the 1920s. He collected churns of milk from the Canalside farms and delivered them to the Canalside chocolate crumb processing plant at Knighton.
*These photographs are to be provided by photographer Tony Brice.
I learned today that local media charity 'Resource Productions' are sponsoring me in part to study 'Writing for Magazines' with 'City Lit'.
So - I've caught up with my activity over the last few days.
Watch this space!
