Finds for Writers
Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- Happening next week (and we’re all invited!): Three Conversations on Contemporary Biography: Writing about Writers with Langdon Hammer & Terrance Hayes; Ruth Franklin & Imani Perry; Hermione Lee & Stacy Schiff.
- From Kelli Russell Agodon: “Thoughts on Putting Together a Poetry Manuscript.” (Spoiler: There’s no single way to do this. But there are many possibilities.)
- #HandlingHaters is an appropriate hashtag for this recent episode of the #AmWriting podcast. “We talk types of bad reviews, strategies for coping with them and how to arm yourself for everything your pub date can bring.”
- Selected content from the March/April issue of Poets & Writers is now available online.
- Don’t miss this week’s Jewish Lit Links on My Machberet: Purim-relevant info, my latest reading, and MORE!
Wishing you all a good weekend. Especially good vibes—heartfelt hopes for safety, warmth, water, and sustenance—go out to everyone in Texas.
Thanks for all the good advice over the years!

My new book: ISSUES OF IMMORTALITY
New Bay Books
As always, thank you, Erika.
I truly think if a reviwer hates a book, another book should be chosen instead. Critical analysis is one thing (critical in its literary sense) but there is no need for hate talk. Every book has its own life and its own audience.
Appreciate these comments. And congrats to Elisavietta.
