Please
give a warm A-Z welcome to Claire
Gillian, a
number-crunching executive by profession, an after hours writer by
passion, and a darkly romantic curmudgeon. While Claire’s writing
spans all ages and subject matters, she’s happiest penning romance
drenched in humor with a dash of intrigue and loads of spice. She
released her debut novel, The P.U.R.E. in April 2012. An
International Superstar thanks to Blogging A to Z!
Haha! No, not quite, but it makes an eye-catching post title doesn't it? But I was the focus of an article about my working experience in the UK
We’ve also been approached by The American magazine, an ex-pat magazine for Americans living here in the UK, who want to run the blog as an article. We’ve forwarded on your story and photos and I believe they’re planning to run it in the August issue.Sure enough, the kind people at BUNAC put me in contact with the features editor of The American. I sent them higher resolution scans of certain pictures and added a couple of additional paragraphs. My story ran in the August issue. Click the image to go to the online magazine, then go to page 18!

So the morals of the story are: Blogging A to Z can be a wonderful catalyst for the coolest kind of serendipity and always tag your blog posts. You never know who might stumble upon them. Cheers and happy blogging!
Thanks Gillian for sharing your great success story - what can happen from one simple blog post. I've always wondered why tagging is necessary since I have a search function...but this looks like it answers my question!
