Finds for Writers
Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- “I Never Made a Living Wage When I Worked in Publishing”: a sobering essay by Bethany Ball for Electric Literature.
- Looking ahead: Robert Lee Brewer is already planning the April Poem-A-Day (PAD) Challenge on the Writer’s Digest site. An excellent source for prompts and motivation during National Poetry Month.
- Attention, fans of author Rebecca Makkai (and really, who isn’t a fan of Rebecca Makkai?). I have three 1-month gift subscriptions to give to would-be readers of her Subsack newsletter. They’ll go to the first three people who comment on this post with a request. (Yes, many of her posts are freely available; the subscriptions will give you temporary access to those that are “locked.”)
- More about AI writing, and other topics, in this Lit Mag News roundup.
- “For the people at Jewish Book Week and the Genesis Foundation, apparently writers can emerge (re-emerge, be unsubmerged, surge) at any age.” From a wonderful essay by Karen E.H. Skinazi that you’ll find cross-posted over on My Machberet, in the latest Jewish Literary Links.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
I would love a subscription to Rebecca’s newsletter! Thank you!
It’s yours! Check your email shortly.
Hi Erika,
Are the other two subs gone yet?
Sue Resnick
The second one is yours, Sue. Check your email shortly!
Thank you! Shabbat Shalom.
If there is a sub left, I would love it!
You got it! Check your email, please!
I’ll take the 3rd, if it’s still available!
I’m so sorry to have run out, Tamara. You’re at the top of the list if/when I get another batch (repeat offers have happened with another Substack I’ve subscribed to, so, let’s see what happens).
And voilà! Check your email!
