Friday Finds for Writers

by Erika Dreifus on September 11, 2015

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

Reliably insightful, Nina Badzin tackles writer envy in her latest advice column for the HerStories Project.

In The New Yorker this week, a marvelous essay on the art and craft of omission in writing. By John McPhee.

And on The New Yorker‘s website: Laura Miller’s must-read on “David Foster Wallace and the Perils of ‘Litchat.'”

On Jane Friedman’s site, Benjamin Vogt has a resonant post on writing about family history.

And one last thing:

Lotte's not lying. So many things an author can do wrong trying to promote a book, all in one email! https://t.co/t6ctbaqQlz

Today brings the somber anniversary of September 11, 2001; may we all be well and have a peaceful weekend. Also: I’ll be celebrating Rosh Hashanah on Monday and therefore won’t post a Monday Markets post. I’ll be back by Wednesday, though.
