Friday Finds for Writers


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

  • On the Lilith blog: Avigayil Halpern on the “thrill that is exploited when newspapers solicit reader stories in lieu of paying writers and reporters to do serious journalism.”
  • I love Laura Maylene Walter’s “Where I Get My Ideas” post over on the Kenyon Review blog.
  • If you’re considering self-publishing at all, do consult Jane Friedman’s introductory guide.
  • “Matthew Klam’s New Book Is Only 17 Years Overdue.” Nice profile by Taffy Brodesser-Akner.
  • And if it’s Friday, it’s also time for a new set of #JewLit links over on the My Machberet blog.
  • Have a great weekend, everyone!
