An About Page With a Heart

April 5, 2018 by Teodora Petkova

As trivial as writing an About page might seem, it is not. On the Web, our words and the messages we send through writing  are the threads that weave the fabrics of our own shared cyberspaces. From there, the process of writing an About page gets a much needed calibration of perspective: You are weaving wordsContinue Weaving

If Web Writing Had a Muse …

The muse Clio partial shot

Does writing in cyberspace have a muse, and if yes, what does it look like? What is it that inspires web writing and how is a web text different from other forms of creative expression? And what if there was a bridge connecting the understanding of the Web as a giant repository of our collectiveContinue Weaving

Knowledge Representation and a Soup It is in The Challenge of Knowledge Soup where computer scientist John F. Sowa writes about knowledge and how difficult itContinue Weaving

Welcome, fellow web explorer!

I am a philologist fascinated by the metamorphoses of text on the Web and curious about the ways the Semantic Web unfolds. I work as a content writer based in Sofia. For project inquiries or consulting, please email me at toshko.afrikanski@gmail.com. You can also

My Brave New Text

Being Dialogic (2022)

In Being Dialogic I explain why the key to successful content on the Web is being dialogic, sharing my PhD research and professional practice related to marketing communication on the Web and its dialogic orientation. The book aim is to allow for broader perspectives on the processes of creating web content which take into account the idea of marketing as managing knowledge and of content writing as creating digital object, enriched with metadata.

The Brave New Text (2017)

The Brave New Text  is a book about web writing and how it transforms the way we communicate, exchange, experience and explore thoughts, ideas, goods. It is a kaleidoscope of perspectives through which you will see texts on the web, as new forms of textuality, as webs themselves, as processes that change us, word by word, link by link.

The Brave New Text consists of essays on writing for the Semantic Web as well as practical tips for creating connected and connecting texts.

The book’s website is The Brave New Text  and it features excerpts from the book together with thoughts and advice on web writing to help you weave your own web of words on the Web of People. Use it for inspiration, guidance and practical advice.

My Tiny Companion to Weaving Texts on the Web

This is a Web Writing guide to help you pave your own road to approaching web writing and making the best of it as a tool for growth, connections and more business.
