Each week (typically Fridays), the Practicing Writing blog offers writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.

• ICYMI: This week’s supplement of “Markets and Jobs for Writers.”
• In which, for Writer’s Digest, authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie “discuss the art of the author’s note, especially as it relates to writing historical fiction.”
• From Eva Langston, host of The Long Road to Publishing podcast: “Now that I have a thriving podcast, I’m getting a TON of pitches from authors who want to be on my show. Which is wonderful! Originally I was releasing two episodes a month, but since there are so many authors I want to interview, I’ve upped it to three a month.

• From Julia Duffy via Writer Unboxed: food for thought regarding the creation and maintenance of one’s “intentional writing practice.”
• And remember to check out the latest Jewish literary links on My Machberet.

Have a good weekend.
