Happy Friday everyone!
Preface: Welcome to another weekly round-up post from our growing community of bloggers, writers, vloggers, podcasters, and other fellow creatives. To be straight to the point, each and every week we hand-pick five top posts from a pool of the highest voted user-submitted/created posts in the community and include them in this weekly round-up blog post, along with the newsletter for all of our e-mail subscribers. As per our submission rules, posts shared can not be re-posts, or older than 1 month (31 days), meaning that all of the following are fresh and recent! Tune in every week and you will gradually become a better and more insightful creative over time!
This week’s top spot is captured by John Seabrook, a contributing writer to The New Yorker since 1989, who penned an incredible look into how AI, and modern technology in general, is gradually changing the writing landscape, much like many other industries. A long one but a good one!
Next up we have a familiar face in Shaunta Grimes who shares her personal account of how she started making five digits every month writing on Medium and other online platforms. It requires a lot of work, or “going all in” as she puts it, along with patience, experimentation, and, of course, learning along the way.
Taking home the bronze is Priya Krishna from the New York Times who takes a deep dive into the world of the food and recipe publishing business, and explains why and how more and more authors in that niche are turning to self-publishing.
In fourth place we have Stacey Corrin who provides us with a gigantic list of forty different types of content ideas, perfect for any blog in any niche.
Finally, wrapping up our list today is Thom James Carter who writes a five-chapter blog post on the subject of digital storytelling, it’s lengthy history going back thousands of years, and how to utilize it to engage your audience and create an emotional connection with them.
