Finds for Writers

Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- Messages from writers and journalists of PEN Ukraine.
- On a related note: Nieman Lab’s Laura Hazard Owen rounds up “resources for following the war in Ukraine.”
- “Why Your Essay Got Rejected”—more sage thoughts from Allison K. Williams.
- I’m appreciating Sarah Einstein’s Substack newsletter, Writing Family Histories. The two public posts that arrived in my inbox this week—“Family Business” and “But What About the Einsteins?”—resonated with me, for different reasons. And the writing itself is wonderful.
- And you’ll find the latest set of Jewish-lit links posted over on the My Machberet blog.
Wishing a good, safe weekend to all.

Thank you for posting sources for tracking Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
I’m just sorry that it’s necessary.
