Finds for Writers
Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- ICYMI: “We Need Diverse Books (WNDB) will no longer use the term #OwnVoices to refer to children’s literature or its authors and we have removed mentions of #OwnVoices from previously published blog posts.”
- Tips for tough interview situations (aimed toward memoirists who may be interviewing people from a traumatic past, but useful much more broadly), courtesy of Allison K. Williams on the Brevity blog.
- “How to Be a Great Podcast Guest: A Guide for Authors” (by Sue Campbell on Jane Friedman’s site).
- From the GrubWrites blog: “Juneteenth is Saturday, June 19th. There are many ways to observe Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, so we’ve compiled a list of Juneteenth events happening virtually and in-person here in the Greater Boston area. As the fight for equity and justice continues, we hope this list provides some resources to commemorate this vital day in history and celebrate the contributions, writing, art, and experiences of Black Americans.”
- And of course, over on the My Machberet blog you’ll find a fresh set of Jewish-lit links (the latest call for applications for Tablet magazine‘s paid fellowship program is among them).
