Friday Finds for Writers


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

  • “In October, I made a google document. My life has been strange and sometimes frightening ever since.” Moira Donegan writes about the “Shitty Media Men” List for The Cut.
  • “Paying to Play: On Submission Fees in Poetry Publishing”—valuable (no pun intended!) piece by Rachel Mennies for The Millions (be sure to check out the detailed document that Mennies has embedded within; special thanks to @AuthorKaul and @CassaCassaCassa for the heads-up).
  • “When the Poems Don’t Come”—another resonant blog post from Karen Craigo.
  • “Arthur Miller’s place in the pantheon of 20th-century American literature is secure. But his literary remains have been in limbo since his death in 2005.” Jennifer Schuessler updates for The New York Times.
  • And remember: If it’s Friday, you’ll find a fresh set of #JewLit links over on My Machberet.
  • Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.
