Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.
Truly a must-read: Annie Neugebauer’s latest for Writer Unboxed, on “the line between self-promotion and spam.”
How did “creative nonfiction” come to be called “creative nonfiction” in the first place? Dinty W. Moore explores.
My cup of tea: reflections on the meaning of “practice” for writers. By Ben Berman, for the Grub Street blog.
Something I’ve heard freelancers (especially new freelancers) ask about–how to locate editors’ email addresses. Carol Tice and Linda Formichelli have delineated seven ways to do so.
Finally, the latest newsletter from Fig Tree Books (edited by yours truly) contains a special notice for agents and writers (including you, my dear book reviewers!).
Happy weekend, everyone!
D.W. Moore’s article is a fun read about the origins of the Creative Non-Fiction term.
But, I have yet to see anything resembling a comprehensive definition of the term. Or the set of rules for the form that cause so much howling when they are supposedly broken.
Maybe next time!
