Finds for Writers
Each week (typically Fridays), the Practicing Writing blog offers writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- From Bloom: “Special Report: Debuting After Fifty panel at AWP.”
- A more encouraging take on three-star reviews (by Linda K. Sienkiewicz on Jane Friedman’s site).
- “Stories fall apart. It happens to freelancers fresh to the industry and to veteran staff reporters who have been on a beat for 15 years. It’s not unique, it didn’t just happen to you, it doesn’t reflect on your skills or temperament as a journalist, and it most certainly doesn’t mean it’s automatically time to throw in the towel.” Check out Tim Herrera’s tips on what to do when an assigned story “falls apart.”
- Based in Sardinia, the Deledda Master in Creative Writing & Translation is a new low-residency program that just crossed my radar.
- And there’s a fresh set of Jewish Literary Links over on My Machberet.
Wishing everyone a good weekend. And remember, if you’re spending part of said weekend seeking homes/support for your writing, be sure to check out our April newsletter and its first Monday supplement, both of which are filled with opportunities that do not charge submission/application fees and do pay for published/winning work.
