(more…)Finds for Writers
Writing- and publishing-related resources to peruse over the weekend.
- Eavesdrop (captions are available on YouTube) as Pamela Paul discusses editing The New York Times Book Review, writing a weekly opinion column, and much more with Meghan Daum.
- So many tbr titles in Kate Dwyer’s examination of the state of the campus novel (for Esquire).
- “Can Social Obligation Scale?” Food for thought from Leigh Stein.
- “What to Do When the Vitriol Comes for You.” Advice from Blair Glaser, published on the Brevity blog.
- ICYMI: The December issue of The Practicing Writer 2.0 went out to subscribers yesterday. As usual, it’s packed with fee-free and paying opportunities, some of which I’ve spotlighted on My Machberet.
Wishing everyone a good weekend.
Jewish Literary Links
- A don’t-miss update from Julie Zuckerman, including a reminder about this weekend’s upcoming Literary Modiin Solidarity with Israel session.
- If you haven’t yet read Howard Lovy’s Substack post on “Antisemitism in the Literary Community,” please do (and take note of Lovy’s new book project).
- And if you haven’t already seen it, I shared “18 Ways to Address Antisemitism in Your Literary Life,” a handout that accompanied my recent Jewish Book Council presentation, over on the Practicing Writing blog yesterday. (Note, too, that I continue to update the document-in-progress titled “After October 7: Readings, Recordings, and More.”)
- Reminder: It’s Jewish Book Month! And if you’re on Twitter, I’ve been sharing #JewishBookMonth posts there daily.
- And the latest Jewish Book Carnival went live yesterday, hosted for November by Gila Green.
Wishing everyone a Shabbat shalom. #AmYisraelChai. And #BringThemHomeNow.

- 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.)
