Artist Residency – hvad er det?
Hvad er et artist residency? Som udøvende kunstner findes der uendeligt mange tilbud om kurser, workshops, coaching og uddannelser, som man kan gøre brug af for at dygtiggøre sig.

Bookreview: “The Lifechanging Magic of not giving a F**k”
I read “The lifechanging magic of not giving a f**k” by Sarah Knight and here is my review. I picked this book up during a vacation in London, UK. It proved to be the perfect read at the time, since we were stuck at Stansted Airport in the plane and in baggage claim for almost 12 hours. The lifechanging magic of not giving a f**k I.Loved.This.Book. I can’t even tell you how much it just resonated with me. First of all it was so liberating to just read the f-word in a self-help-ish lifestyle book. Thank you, for not being too clean and serious. Second of all, I actually read…

Feedback & Test readers – Who’s who? (Part 2)
Who should you ask for feedback on your text? As a writer, you have plenty of opportunities to get feedback on your books and texts, both the already published and especially the material you haven’t finished or that you’re still working on. It can be a little difficult to grasp, who can help with what and that’s why I’ve gathered a little guide for you here, where you can see some of the different types of test readers and what they will often be able to do for you, before you send your manuscript to a publisher or press “publish”. As I see it, there are two categories of readers,…
