Finds for Writers
Each week (typically Fridays), the Practicing Writing blog offers writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- This week brought news of the death of Nobel literature laureate and short-story genius Alice Munro (1931-2024).
- From Angie Isaacs: “3 Book Marketing Misconceptions and What to Do Instead.”
- Over on Nieman Storyboard, a Q&A with The Atlantic‘s national editor Scott Stossel is the first to be profiled in “an occasional series interviewing story editors about how they do their jobs.”
- From Kathleen Schmidt: an important post on “Book Publishing and Antisemitism.”
- And as always, there’s lots to check out in the latest set of Jewish literary links on My Machberet (including a mid-month update regarding my own literary observance of Jewish American Heritage Month).
Reminder: We’re just past the mid-month point, and I’ve begun compiling the June issue of The Practicing Writer 2.0. Do make sure you haven’t missed any opportunities listed in the May edition (or in the weekly supplements that have been posted since then). Have a good weekend.
