Finds for Writers
Each week (typically Fridays), the Practicing Writing blog offers writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- In her latest perspicacious post, Katie Hale asks “What is a day rate? And how do I decide how much my time is worth?”—and offers sage answers from her own practice. (Her post reflects a specifically British context/set of resources, but is, I think, widely applicable wherever you may be writing from.)
- Similarly sage, Christine Sneed offers suggestions for rendering less-torturous “The Eighth Circle of Hell, i.e. Self-Promotion.”
- A message for National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grantees from the Authors Guild: “We’re working on helping people get their grant money. Please fill out the questionnaire, and we’ll be in touch.” (You can find the questionnaire here.)
- Among the latest links on My Machberet: a job announcement for an Assistant Director for a brand-new low-residency MFA program.
- And this time next week, the May edition of The Practicing Writer 2.0 will have gone out to subscribers. (It’s never too late to sign up to receive your free copy directly!) In the meantime, be sure that you haven’t missed any of the still-open opportunities in the April issue or weekly supplements.
Have a great weekend.
