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

  • The origin story behind Lauren Groff’s new novel. (Colleen Walsh for the Harvard Gazette.)
  • Caught on Twitter: The Slowdown poetry podcast is coming back on September 21st “with new episodes and a new host —@adalimon!”
  • Michelle Garrett’s post titled “Journalists Sound Off on How PR Pros Can Improve Media Pitches” is worth a glance for anyone pitching media—including authors who are taking on book-promo for themselves.
  • Over on Nieman Storyboard: “Now an editor at The Washington Post, Lisa Grace Lednicer critiques an emotional essay she wrote at The Oregonian in the wake of 9/11.”
  • And, as per usual, you’ll find the weekly Jewish-lit links posted on the My Machberet blog.

Have a good weekend, everyone.
