Just to say, if you live anywhere in the UK or around the world and would like to write about the arts for the #theQR, we'd be delighted to hear from you. It'll open some doors and bring you into contact with the Arts world like no other undertaking. We can't pay anything yet - because independent arts journalism barely covers the cost of hosting the site. If that ever changes it will be a genuine delight to start paying writers what they are actually worth.

Welcome to day #7 of this year’s August madness #EdFringe dreamers. For those still arriving, welcome to the house of fun! For those in the trenches, be kind to yourselves, keep the faith and believe you can do 1 thing better today than you did yesterday. Believe it and work at it! My (@theQR_editor) inbox is flooded, my To-Do list is turning into a Not-Done list, but today I will write more concisely and twice as fast with more precision. I believe! Do you?!
