Writing for Charity: post on Creatabot

I've just written a post about writing for charity for Creatabot, to which I regularly contribute.  Do check it out, and all the wonderful articles on this e-zine by a host of amazing creatives.  An extract is below -

“As a creative I can speak for most of us and say that often our motive is not money, it is to make a difference in the world.” Natasha Steer

This statement, from Natasha’s post on Networking Vs Making Friends, really struck a chord with me about why creatives create.

When I hear about best-selling authors making a fortune I envy the fact they can then give lots of money to charity.  Writing can be a powerful force for change.  But could it also offer a pathway to giving? .........

Time for Creatabot

I'm really thrilled to be a contributor to the excellent online magazine for creatives and artists called Creatabot, which aims to inspire, inform and promote creative people in the UK.  
To quote editor Natasha Steer,  "Creatabot is a community interest website which means any funds generated are principally reinvested in the website or into the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for contributors and owners."
