Nul is NIKS – of is dit IETS?

Daar is min dinge wat so interessant is soos: NUL. Die eerste opgetekende voorkoms van die gebruik van ‘n simbool soortgelyk aan die een wat ons as nul ken, dateer terug na ongeveer 3 eeue VC, in antieke Mesopotamië. In jonger geskrifte…

Annlerie van Rooyen

Boeke was van kleins af deel van my leefwêreld en ek was gelukkig genoeg om my liefde vir boeke en lees as beroep by ’n uitgewery voort te sit op voltydse en later vryskutbasis. In 2020 het ek deel van The Post se span geraak. Om iets uit niks te skep, is ’n proses waarvan al die elemente amper soos ’n wonderwerk bymekaarkom, altyd met ’n goue draad wat daardeur loop. Die positiewe, opbouende en lekkerlees artikels vir die gemeenskap en hul waardering daarvoor bly inspirerend.

Ek is sedert 2016 deel van The Post. Soos met enige besigheid leer jy vinnig dat van koffie maak tot aflewerings deel is van die taak. Die interaksie met adverteerders, beding rondom pryse, en die pa staan vir foute wat insluip, word later ’n dans waarvan die musiek enige oomblik kan verander.

Die verrassende reaksie van die publiek, komplimente en die dankie wat oor jou pad kom sodra The Post op die rakke verskyn, maak die uitvoer van die dagtaak beslis die moeite werd.

Lindie Metz

Lindie has been working in the publishing industry for over 20 years, both as designer and production consultant.  Her expertise lies largely in the non-fiction world – she has worked on gardening, cooking, parenting, and craft books and even jumped in as photographer on a few occasions.

Her career path took a very different turn when she studied and ultimately qualified as a homeopath. It speaks to her love of people, nutrition and fitness and she derives great joy in helping her patients along their journey to wellness.

When she’s not designing or in practice, you’ll find her in the kitchen cooking something delicious or outdoors, enjoying time in nature.
