Richard Young's general-purpose blog, designed to act as a holding place for thoughts, ideas and content awaiting more profitable deployment.

First post
This blog will be my "dumping ground" - somewhere to post both personal and professional stuff that's awaiting some other kind of content management. More later...
I've been writing about business since 1996, when I joined BusinessAge as a staff writer. After VNU bailed on the magazine, I spent 18 months - from launch to closure - as business editor on Business Computer World.
I then became deputy editor at Financial Director magazine. When editor Andy Sawers was seconded to a web project, I was acting editor for six months. That resulted in me being headhunted by Caspian Publishing in 2000 to launch Real Finance magazine, also a title aimed at FDs.
Since 2006 I've been a freelance writer and editor working with mags andh a number of companies on their comms. I also chair seminars and conferences for the business community and run training courses on better business writing.
For three days a week I'm also the strategic editor for seven ICAEW Faculty magazines at their contract publisher PCP. These are aimed at accountants with specialisms in tax, audit, IT, financial services, corporate finance, management and reporting - so my beat remains as broad as ever.
