Friday Finds for Writers

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

  • Lots of great recommendations in this extensive post from The Write Life/Marisol Dahl on “The 100 Best Websites for Writers” (even if we’d humbly suggest that next time, they consider adding one? ;-)).
  • I’m beginning to feel a tad overwhelmed by all the podcasts that are out there; if you want to see one list of podcasts that are recommended “for writers, word nerds, and book lovers,” see Crystal King’s post for Grub Daily.
  • Over at The Millions, Nick Ripatrazone “asked editors of seven great literary magazines to select their favorite issues. Here are their choices.”
  • I’ll confess that a line about campaigning in poetry and governing in prose has been much on my mind this week. Here’s one take on it, by Amy Davidson on NewYorker.com.
  • Don’t forget that the next issue of The Practicing Writer will be published very soon! In addition to the usual rich array of no-fee, paying opportunities and submission calls, you’ll find there a Q&A with author, professor, and MFA director Jeanetta Calhoun Mish. If you’re not yet a subscriber, you’re always welcome to join us! (There’s no charge, and I do not share/sell/otherwise offer up the subscriber list.)
  • Have a great weekend, everyone!
