Friday Finds for Writers


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

  • Over on Electric Literature, Jennifer Baker talks with three indie-press publishers: Rosalie Morales Kearns, Leland Cheuk, and Laura Stanfill.
  • “Author newsletters: yay or nay?”—see what Katrin Schumann has to say on this subject over on the GrubWrites blog.
  • A new literary festival is coming to Minneapolis.
  • A few good Twitter threads: @jandralee on “how to support authors without spending any money”; @paul_mc_veigh’s “notes from a short story competition,” featuring some observations gleaned from his experience as a contest judge (thanks to @CraftLiterary for that one); and @MyfanwyCollins on “supportive women in media.”
  • And remember: If it’s Friday, you’ll find a fresh set of #JewLit links over on My Machberet.
  • Have a great weekend, all.
