Welcome to 2022

For some, the first month of the year has already begun to mirror the previous two years, flowing on with the same challenges, mindsets and situations. For others, it has marked new beginnings, outlooks and opportunities.

I, myself, have had a mixture of the two, with hope and reflection taking the reins of what this year could bring – along with heavy doses of caffeine and the occasional wine thrown in.

Pen to Print’s main mission this year is to share as much information as possible with emerging and established writers. Whether your projects are of poetry, fiction, nonfiction or self-help, I hope you find the blog posts this year helpful and invaluable for your writing, wellbeing and future aspirations.

Here is a snippet of the things you can expect to see from us in 2022:

• Writing competitions

• Interviews with authors, editors and publishers

• Useful tips on the different elements of writing, with exercises you can use on your own project/s

• Word of the Week, where we look at an uncommon word, it’s meaning and how it can be used – some with hilarious results.

I hope this year brings you more opportunities in perfecting your craft, expanding on your knowledge – including your writing muscles – and getting even closer to sharing your project with others.

Watch this space and until next time, happy writing!
