‘A brilliant writer and a formidable friend’: Sarah Hughes remembered

art and culture

A colleague of the much-loved journalist looks back at her warmth, talent and dedication to the craftI first met Sarah in the late 1990s, when the spirit of camaraderie that pervaded the Observer would spill down the slope of Ray Street behind the office to the Coach & Horses pub, where staff gathered. We became friends, and subsequently worked together at the Observer Review. Later, the TV editor, Mike Bradley, and I had the idea (prompted by Sarah) of getting her in to work on the section we ran together.Her instincts about the appointment proved correct, as she displayed a compendious knowledge of all the big American serials and everyone in them, months before anyone had seen or even heard of them here. In fact, Sarah’s knowledge seemed boundless – she knew more about books than anyone I know, and a great deal about sport, current affairs and music. Someone might be looking for 1,400 words on a subject; they could ask Sarah at two in the afternoon and the words would be there by six, peppered with original insight and free of faults. I always knew, if she was standing in on TV, that her work would be impeccable.

Networking Got You Down? Try A Cru Instead

social issue

Empathy can actually make us bad accountability partners. When we ask a person for advice they put themselves in our shoes and tell us what they would do if they were us. And if that person is a friend, colleague or a family member, the advice they give is tainted by their relationship to us and how the outcome will affect them. That is why having a group of women who support you but aren’t close to you is vital to meeting your goals. But how to find such a group of women?
