Jobs at Miramus

If you’re looking for writing work, keep an eye on the “Jobs” category on the Miramus blog. That’s where we’ll be posting any job announcements.

Alternatively, a great way to find out about writing work is to follow us on Twitter as we tend to try that before creating a job listing.

If you’re applying for a job, please make sure you read our “how to get the job” page first. You have been warned!

The Sway #2: Back for a second helping!

Miramus helped to organise the (if I do say so myself) excellent Sway event in May, and it’s back for a second helping in July. It was a great night, with some really interesting (and short!) talks from some innovative and inspiring web entrepreneurs and general web heads.

I can’t think of another event that’s aimed solely at bloggers, editors and network owners seeking to make money out of their editorial content. Many of the people at the event were people I’ve only ever spoken to on email, or admired from a distance, and putting faces to names made me realise that we should have been running events like this for years.

So if you think you should have been invited (if you run advertising on your blog or website or are monetising it in other ways then this is the event for you), please do request an invite over on the Sway website, or directly via the Sway MeetUp group. You can also follow The Sway on Twitter.

The reason the event is invite only is to protect those attending from being overrun by PRs, widget creators, and other marketeers and developers. There are already plenty of events out there that (quite rightly) allow access for all. But The Sway is solely for those wishing to talk about their businesses with other content providers.

I hope to see you there!

Running AOL’s latest blog: ParentDish UK

For the past few months Miramus has been working on a new blog for AOL: ParentDish UK. As the name suggests, this is the UK version of the hugely successful ParentDish blog, and working with AOL to launch the new site for a UK audience has been a great experience.

We’ve got some excellent bloggers working on the site, all with a wide range of blogging, journalism and parenting experience, and the site has already been welcomed into the fold, with some active commenters and some lively debates.

It’s a great read, and we’re really proud to be working on it so do check it out!
