As if the internet needed another middle-aged man telling you how things should be done.

Well, tadaa, here's yet another one: me.

Truth be told, I'm useless at a lot of things (origami, sailing and crocheting) but I'm not useless at writing, communications and PR.

So that's what you'll get here, everything from why using "very" in your writing is a very bad idea to me ranting about the whole mediascape.

Published author, editor, co-founder of Newspage and all-around communications pundit.

Have a read, scribble a comment, ask a question. I reply quick.

Are you an aspiring writer?

If you want to write so your readers remember you, I give one 30-minute writing session on Tuesdays, pro bono (that’s fancy talk for “free”). There’s no catch, I won’t be selling you anything at the end of it.

This offer is only here on my Medium profile. So if you’ve gotten this far, now’s your opportunity, just email jay.vaananen@gmail.com with the subject line “30-minute writer chat” and I’ll slot you in the calendar.

It'll be the best writing chat you'll ever have. Trust me, I used to be a banker.

Oh, and don't forget to subscribe to my irregular regular emails, which will expand your knowledge about the media, communications and writing. Click here.
