SUZANNE'S WORLD

SUZANNE'S WORLD is the new all-encompassing umbrella for features, blogs and interviews either new or archived on my website. It is also the new home of what was Melville News.

Actors, musicians, friends and professional colleagues all Friends, colleagues, international actors and musicians all are part of the rich tapestry of Suzanne's World...Above: The pin board in my office is a collage of of my world...

For a long time I've been searching for a name that immediately conveys, but doesn't limit, the scope of editorial content I publish on my website. As simple a task as one may think it to be, I have rejected every suggestion for not meeting those criteria. "What's in a name?" asked more than one friend, echoing Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. ("What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smells as sweet," says Juliet in a passage reflecting her wishful thinking.)

As Juliet discovered, there's a lot in a name, and in my case, the perfect solution wasn't presenting itself. Suzanne's World is an honest and broad attempt to to capture the spirit of this page. As the pin board reveals, in my case it is a personal if somewhat random collection of people and places in my professional and private life, which is intended to be symbolic.

It is here too where colleagues and friends will be encouraged to share their original, thought-provoking and entertaining words to engage readers old and new.

And now that I have settled on Suzanne's World, I hope to give up stressing about names and to get on with the writing. I'm working towards forming partnerships with other sites, which will provide yet more options for the short-attention-span age in which we find ourselves.

I'm happy to say that the launch of this new segment coincides with a feature and an extended paragraph (I'm being facetious) from John Miller, an old friend and colleague who lives in Wales... but let him tell his own stories.

Welcome to my world.

PUTTING A PRICE ON GOOD WRITING

16th September 2006 By Suzanne Brenner

How much is a writer worth? If one looks at many magazines, newspapers, print advertisements, PR communications and even TV soaps’ sub-titles, you may be forgiven for thinking not much. So then the question would be how much is a good writer worth? That really depends on who is picking up the tab and on […]
