A workshop with Naomi Head

Some kind of online presence seems essential for writers these days, but the questions of where and what and how much seem ever harder to answer as a once stable world of social media continues to fracture. Join poet and digital media professional Naomi Head to discuss websites, newsletters and social media, and explore what might be the best options for you. We’ll also be considering how often you should be updating pages, and where to draw the line between the personal and professional.

Naomi Head (she/they) is a digital media professional based in Edinburgh. She started working in marketing, social media, and website editing in 2019 with TimeOut Beijing.
