Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.

When days begin to blur, it’s easy to miss Big News—so if you didn’t catch Monday’s announcement of the latest Pulitzer Prizes, here it is.
Another announcement some may have missed: Joy Harjo has been re-appointed U.S. Poet Laureate. (Celebrate this news later today, when Harjo will take part in this virtual event.)
And something else that may have passed you by: the latest updates to the Associated Press Stylebook.
