October Roundup : Make Use Of Authors

With the end of another month, we present to you once again another monthly roundup of Make Use Of stories.

October has been a busy month at Make Use Of headquarters with an increase to five stories a day and a start in hiring again.   Seven new writers made their debut articles in October and we moved from one long Sunday podcast to three short weekly podcasts.   If you missed any of them, click here to scan the list and find the ones you are looking for.

As we head into a chilly November, we hope you’ll keep warm by snuggling up and reading Make Use Of!
