Our Guest Editor for February 2012 is Kim Chamberlain.

Kim has been a volunteer copywriter for the Hub for just a couple of months and expressed interest in the Guest Editor role, so when the February Guest Editor-to-be had to pull out due to work commitments, we asked Kim and she jumped at the chance.

Kim is our 3rd Guest Editor and is particularly interested in non-fiction writing, having already submitted interviews with a ghost writer and a non-fiction writer to the website in January.

During her Guest Editor placement, Kim will be responsible for managing all copy on the Lancashire Writing Hub website, including the submissions to our “Your Writing” pages, as well as contributing her own articles.

“Hi, I’m Kim Chamberlain and I’m a writer, speaker, trainer … and chocaholic. I mainly write non-fiction books, e-books, articles, newsletters, blogs and a daily email service. My topics include Communication; Inspiration; Personal development; and Brain training, games & puzzles.  

Some of my work can be found on: http://www.successfulspeaking.biz/products/ 

and  http://www.successfulspeaking.biz/newsletters/

I’m really looking forward to being involved with the Lancashire Writing Hub, its people and events, and would love to hear from you.”

Our first Guest Editor for 2012 – Claire Sharples.

Claire has been a volunteer article copywriter for the Hub website, and was looking forward to the challenge of the Guest Editor placement. She was our first Guest Editor of 2012, her placement running for the whole of January, during which time she was responsible for managing all copy on the Lancashire Writing Hub website as well as contributing her own articles.

She said: “I’m really excited to be taking on this role and I hope to meet the hub’s expectations.  I’ve already been working my way through a back log of submissions and it’s a task I’m really enjoying.  Keep up the creativity!”

Claire has started a new blog on WordPress at http://csharples.wordpress.com where you can read samples of her writing.  She prefers to write fiction and is hoping to publish her writing on her new blog over the next few months.

Her  personal blog is  http://clsharples.blogspot.com and she is on Twitter @csharples .

Claire got 2012 off to a cracking start as the first Guest Editor of the year, and our second ever Guest Editor for the LWH website. She handled the role professionally and with enthusiasm, publishing 20 articles, including News and Opportunities articles and several reviews & interviews commissioned by our team of volunteer copywriters, proof-reading and scheduling in a large number of submissions to the “Your Writing” pages, and writing 3 of her own articles to boot. All in the space of just one month.

Our first Guest Editor: Jeanette Greaves.

Jeanette has written book reviews for LWH as a volunteer copywriter, and was keen to step up to the Guest Editor role.

She says her previous work “has ranged from quality controlling the exact shade of peach in recycled toilet roll, to analysing the effectiveness of reed beds in the treatment of Yorkshire’s sewage. She now writes about werewolves.”

Jeanette’s Guest Editor placement ran from October to December 2011, and during this period she was responsible for managing all copy on the Lancashire Writing Hub website as well as contributing her own articles.

We’d like to thank Jeanette for a fantastic and thoroughly professional Guest Editorship. During her placement she published nearly 60 articles, including news, events and opportunities, plus 8 reviews and interviews commissioned from LWH volunteer copywriters, and 4 of her own articles. She also proof-read and scheduled in numerous submissions to the LWH website “Your Writing” pages and comments.
