Friday Finds for Writers


Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.

  • On my weekend agenda: listening to a recording of “Don’t Forget the Day Job: Preparing Creative Writing Graduates for Lifelong Careers,” a 2017 AWP Conference session.
  • Also on tap: fiction by the late William Trevor in the latest issue of The New Yorker.
  • Two more intriguing posts from Jane Friedman, one on dealing with “clueless asks,” and another on “the challenge faced by high-quality literary journals.”
  • “Pitching and Moaning: A Guide to Submitting Your Writing”—post by Tony Tulathimutte for Catapult.
  • And don’t forget that Friday brings a fresh set of Jewish literary links over on my other blog. (And this week’s batch features a new review-essay of my own!)
  • Have a great weekend, all.
