Finds for Writers
Each week (typically Fridays), the Practicing Writing blog offers writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- Happening next Wednesday (October 7): “American Flash Fiction: Brilliant Brevities & Miniature Masterpieces,” a free online event from the Library of America.
- Also happening that day, and also free/online (but a few hours earlier, and offered by the Authors Guild): “Protect Your Author Brand and Identity in the Age of AI.”
- Over on My Machberet: a fresh batch of Jewish literary links. (Not there, because it was only unveiled yesterday after the post was published: a significant new “State of the Arts” initiative, including the literary arts.)
- Speaking of yesterday: I devoted some teaching time to the subject of scenes in (short) fiction, which may just be why I’m drawn to Kelsey Allagood’s “3 Questions I Ask When a Scene Just Feels Off™” over on Writer Unboxed.
- And icymi: October’s edition of The Practicing Writer 2.0 went out to all subscribers midweek. As usual, this issue is packed with dozens of fee-free and paying/funded opportunities that are now (or will soon be) open for submissions and applications. Plus, of course: subscriber success stories, a featured resource, and more.
Wishing everyone a good weekend.
