Finds for Writers
Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- An image of Maya Angelou graces a new quarter that is now in circulation.
- Over on the Brevity blog, Allison K. Williams presents “Seven Reasons for Rejection.”
- Free Authors Guild webinar happening January 18: “Even traditionally published authors are expected to participate heavily in marketing and promotion these days, no matter how much support the books have from the publisher. Moderator Jane Friedman and panelists Dana Kaye, Vaishali Nayak, and Leila Siddiqui will walk us through the timelines for marketing and publicity and explore how authors can collaborate with their publishing teams. We’ll discuss how to engage your readers and grow an audience through avenues such as social media, book tours, blogging, and more, and which efforts you should focus on for various genres.”
- “Gal Beckerman, Maya Chung, and Emma Sarappo Join The Atlantic as Editors, Kicking Off Books Expansion.”
- And, of course, there’s a new set of Jewish-lit links posted over on the My Machberet blog.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
Erika:
Since I started receiving your “Finds for Writers” last year, and exploring the flash resources you’ve listed, I’ve had three pieces accepted in three different lit mags, beginning October 2021! These are my first! I’ve submitted eight to about a dozen different pubs during this period, so I’m thrilled with your posts! Thank you and keep it up!
Thanks, Erika.
I now classify your website as a “find.” 🙂
