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

  • From Narratively Academy: “Ready to Pitch Your Book? Don’t Sleep on Academic Presses: Contrary to popular belief, university publishing houses are not just for scholars—they also publish poetry, fiction, memoir and more.”
  • From New Verse Review: an essay detailing “some virtues of narrative poetry,” the first in a series on narrative poetry (“originally presented at Ashland University’s 2026 MFA summer residency”).
  • In which Katie Hale shares “3 uncomfortable truths about judging poetry competitions.”
  • Within this week’s Jewish Literary Links: new publications, open opportunities, and terrific (free!) upcoming webinar offered by Booklist.
  • And as we approach August’s midpoint, remember that the August newsletter is filled with many (many) fee-free-and-paying calls and competitions that remain open for submissions and applications.

Have a great weekend.
