You could use one of these useful templates.

You could write a longer blog. That’s welcome too.

Writing tips

Write in short sentences.

Break up your paragraphs. Use sub-headings (like we have done here). This helps people read your work.

Include pictures. Use gifs or quotes too, if you like.

You can use the Hemingway web app to check your writing. We do this sometimes.

We welcome everyone

We look forward to welcoming you as a writer :)
