Finds for Writers
Writing- and publishing-related resources to peruse over the weekend.
- A poignant message from Sy Safransky, as he steps into “editor emeritus” status at The Sun. (Thanks to Susan Perabo for leading me to this.)
- Over on Bookfox: “4 Ways to Use Silence in Your Fiction.”
- “Next spring, author Lauren Groff and her husband, Clay Kallman, plan to open The Lynx in downtown Gainesville, Fla. The 2,300-square-foot store will sell new books for all ages, with an emphasis on Florida’s literary history and, especially, books currently banned in the state.” More info via Shelf Awareness.
- For Writer Unboxed, David Corbett explores “Your Character’s Faith (or Lack Thereof).”
- And on a not-unrelated note: Check out the latest Jewish literary links over on My Machberet (including some news about my next online appearance).

Wishing everyone a good weekend.

- Yes, I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a more “typical” set of Finds. So November is already decidedly underway, and I’m only just now reminding you that if you’re in search of some fresh poetry prompts, you may want to check out the November Poem-A-Day (PAD) Challenge over on the Writer’s Digest site.
- Something else that’s already more than a week old: “Writing ‘Maid’ Pulled Stephanie Land Out of Poverty. She’s Fine Now, Right?” (gift link).
- An announcement: “Working Together to Protect the Authenticity of Ratings and Reviews on Goodreads.”
- By poetry-journal editor Mark Danowsky: “Demystifying the Editor/Writer Relationship: Submission and Etiquette Guidelines.” In Lit Mag News.
- And yes, of course, you’ll find another set of Jewish-lit links over on the My Machberet blog. I hope you’ll check them out. Included there is an open letter that I’ve signed, and that I hope you’ll review and consider signing, too. (It welcomes signatures from Jews and allies, worldwide.)
