Finds for Writers
Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- “What is Substack? What is a Substack lit mag? How do writers and readers make sense of this new newsletter world?” A conversation launched by Becky Tuch.
- And speaking of Substack: Zina Gomez-Liss has recently spotlighted “10 Substacks to Try About the Craft and Business of Writing,” (and it’s lovely to see The Practicing Writer 2.0 included here in some pretty impressive company!).
- Sticking with Substack sourcing for the moment: In the latest edition of Counter Craft, “Lit Mags and Money (or the Lack of It),” Lincoln Michel shares “thoughts on genre mags, literary mags, and trying to [make?] money on stories.”
- And now for something pretty different: Lauren Oyler’s cover feature for the May Harper‘s, which I read in print this week, had me spellbound. Officially, it’s a piece about Oyler’s (assigned) voyage on “the Goop cruise.” But there’s also quite a bit about writing. And David Foster Wallace. Among other things.
- And don’t miss the latest Jewish lit links over on My Machberet.
Have a good weekend.
Thanks for providing Lauren Oyler’s piece. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite so hip and clever, including the side story of the 2 Boyfriends.
Hip and clever–great description. I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!
