Finds for Writers
Writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
(more…)Practicing Writing
Welcome to Practicing Writing! Here you’ll find updates on writing and publishing opportunities (especially handy between issues of our popular monthly newsletter). You’ll discover ONLY opportunities that charge no fees, and ONLY publications/contests that will pay for your writing. The blog also shares writing-related news and resources and updates regarding this practicing writer’s own work.
Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer
Three quick updates from my desk.
1. Had a great conversation with a synagogue educator this week about a three-session series of events for the spring, a mix of book-group visits and a “publishing your Jewish stories/poems” workshop. (Interested in similar programming? Maybe I can work with your synagogue or organization, too. Email me!)
(more…)Markets & Jobs for Writers
Each week in this space, Practicing Writing shares no-fee, paying markets for writers of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction: competitions, contests, and calls for submissions. The posts complement monthly issues of The Practicing Writer newsletter, where you’ll always find more listings, none of them limiting eligibility to residents of a single municipality, state, or province. (But this blog does share those more localized opportunities, including jobs.)
As always, if you’d like to share a specific opportunity listed here, please credit the blog for the find. Thanks for respecting the time and effort that I put into researching, curating, and posting this information!
(more…)#SundaySentence
Every weekend I participate in David Abrams’s “#SundaySentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”
This week made one thing clear: Our dystopian novelists will have to try harder.

1. Frankly, I’ve done precious little writing this week. Most of my time has been consumed with preparing for the spring semester.
