Anthologies
Journal
Volume
AS I WORK through this website quietly changing everything over, I am surprised at how much content there is.
I was pleased with myself, coming to the end of the poetry amendments. Then, looking at the spreadsheet, a thought … hang on webbey! This is only a fraction. Then that whisper of an inner voice … you’ve forgotten to include many of the poems you’ve published in four anthologies, not to mention the Kindle books, and the prose.
Oh shut up!
… … … A mug of coffee later, and browsing through the printed anthologies, they seem, now, to be from another age; but if I’m going to do the job properly, I’d better get on with bringing things properly up-to-date.
Easier said than done. Gracious alive! Did I really write that? That’s awful composition! And it’s in print, too.
We’re all good at criticising our own handiwork, in whatever form it might be.
It is, however, a good exercise. It will keep me busy.
Right. It’s approaching 3pm when everything stops for tea as the old Radio One tune used to sing out every afternoon three decades ago.

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
