Online Content UK

Apologies for the crosspost from the General Discussion forum, but I'd like to draw attention to our November event mentioned below 'Marketing Yourself and Your Writing Online' particularly in this forum.

------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick note to let you know about Online Content UK, the network for online content professionals.

The first gathering was held last month in London, and we’re hoping to make it a monthly thing with some casual drinks events, and some including panel discussions or speakers on topics relevant to online writing and content strategy/management. Our first speaker event, 'Marketing Yourself and Your Writing Online' will be in November. Please join the discussion list, or email for further details as they are confirmed.

The network is totally free and was started to offer online writers and content professionals an email list and face-to-face gatherings to discuss issues in the industry (in London initially).

If you're interested, please go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/online-content-UK (you'll need a Yahoo ID to view it) or email online-content-UK-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (for which you don't need a Yahoo ID)

Please feel free to pass this email on to anyone you think may be interested. Please remember that the group is not for a discussion of writing in general, but online writing and content in particular, for those in the UK or with an interest in the UK industry.

I would be interested to be kept posted as to how this develops. Although I'm a Brit journalist / writer, I am resident in the US. So I guess I won't be of much use, especially as the 'face-to-face meetings' are out of the question for me! I wish you every success with this venture. David Taub www.ukpoet.cjb.net

I think they have a US wing - if you mail Elizabeth directly, she probably has details. Cheers Em
