Caillagh de Bodemloze for Novus
Caillagh is a pillar of Content, providing committed, consistent work and leadership. Caillagh attracted the attention of staff with an exceptional AAR, A Long Way from Home, which took first place in the AAR of the Year category of the Writers' Study Yearly Awards in 2015 and 2016. In May 2015, Caillagh joined Critic's Quill Staff, writing articles and reviews on AARs and creative writing. In September 2015, Writers' Study and Critic's Quill staff teams merged, which meant taking on responsibility for running Writers' Study competitions as well as writing publications. Caillagh's contributions were consistently excellent and this led to appointments as deputy director of the Writers' Study and Critic's Quill (from June 2017), Content Director for Content's News Staff (November 2017) and Content Hex (February 2019).
Caillagh's contributions are exceptional. In 2019, Content has few experienced staff. Caillagh is carrying out an exceptional number of leadership roles, including Content Director for News Staff, joint acting Content Director for the Eagle Standard and the Gamer's Gazette and deputy director for the Writer's Study and Critic's Quill - that's four leadership roles in Content as well as being Hex. Caillagh also provides detailed, valuable advice on the editing of articles for the Helios. This means that Caillagh is making active contributions to five Content Staff teams. Caillagh frequently participates in discussion about Content activities such as the planning of competitions and giving feedback on draft articles. Caillagh's advice and feedback is detailed and helpful. Caillagh's work is of exceptional quality and includes contributions to an unusual number of areas of Content's work, including front page announcements, articles and competitions.
Caillagh has gone beyond these contributions in Content by becoming a Hex for Modding Staff as well as Content Staff.

New initiatives
Occasional Competitions
Caillagh is active in maintaining and improving Writers’ Study competitions. Caillagh is also an innovator, creating the concept of Occasional Competitions for the Writers’ Study. Before, our competitions were all regular ones. The idea of Occasional Competitions is that they appear occasionally and that each one offers a different kind of writing challenge. For example, our first Occasional Competition was to Write an Advert.
