Finds for Writers
Each Friday, the Practicing Writing blog shares writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- A long-ish, digital-era-related essay on “The Life, Death—And Afterlife—of Literary Fiction” by Will Blythe for Esquire (via The Literary Saloon).
- Happening tomorrow (Saturday, July 22): Smokelong Quarterly is hosting a virtual panel discussion on “Flash in the University Classroom,” featuring Venita Blackburn, Michael Czyzniejewski, and Kim Chinquee. Free for “anyone who teaches creative writing at the high-school or university level.”
- Get to know some independent presses through a new “Meet an Indie Publisher” series from The Biblioracle Recommends. Deputized by “The Biblioracle” (John Warner), Derek Krissoff this week spotlighted Blair (there’s a link within to an earlier feature on Hub City Press, too).
- Speaking of independent publishers: I appreciated this thoughtful column for Lit Mag News from Casie Dodd, founder and publisher of Belle Point Press.
- And, as always, there’s a fresh batch of Jewish literary links to peruse over on My Machberet.
Have a wonderful weekend.
