From Odes to Nodes [Book Excerpt]

July 31, 2018 by Teodora Petkova

“Sing, O muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans”, rhythmically went the first line of  the Iliad, imprinted in the minds and hearts of generations of rhapsodes. It was the dactylic hexameter (the rhythmic scheme) of the poem and the poetic workings (the rhetorical power )Continue Weaving

The Very Essence of Writing Is: You Want to Tell Someone Something

September 25, 2017 by Teodora Petkova

I don’t have a formula for writing. What I have is something I learned from my professor in Creative writing. It goes like this: the very essence of writing is in your desire to tell someone something. So go ahead. Say it! Say it to me, explain it, don’t think about writing, think about transferingContinue Weaving

Weaving Linked Data into Texts with WordLift

Weaving Featured WordLift linked Data into Texts

Innovations do happen at the intersections. One such innovation happened at the intersection between SEO, Content writing and the Semantic Web. It is called WordLift. Below are my notes and thoughts about the experience I had with WordLift, going down the rabbit hole of linking, linking and … linking people, concepts, things and ideas, inContinue Weaving

Text and Web: Two Sides of the Coin Named Interconnectedness

November 8, 2016 by Teodora Petkova

The Web and the Text are intricate networks of words, things, people and the relationships between them. By form, the text and the Web share a lot of common traits. More or less decentralized (no top-down hierarchies included), open to new elements and fostering the exchange of knowledge. By function, texts and the web are intriguingly similar too:Continue 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
schedule time with me.

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.
