Writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.

Three quick updates from my desk.
1. Frankly, I’ve done precious little writing this week. Most of my time has been consumed with preparing for the spring semester.
(more…)Markets and 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.”

Writing and publishing resources, news, and reflections to peruse over the weekend.
- ICYMI: The first issue of The Practicing Writer 2.0 for 2021 went out to subscribers yesterday. It’s filled with 35 fee-free, paying opportunities for those of us who write fiction, poetry, and/or creative nonfiction.
- Another reason to check out that newsletter issue? Its featured resource is a PEN America series of free online workshops on the business of writing. Again, you’ll find the info in the newsletter.
- And please check out 2021’s first set of Jewish-lit links on the My Machberet blog.
Please forgive this abbreviated edition of “Finds,” friends. It is a holiday, after all. Happy New Year!
Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer
Quick updates from my desk.
1. Following up from last week’s post: Now it can be told. In fact, it has been told, but if you somehow missed mentions elsewhere: My poem “Fighting Words” was featured on Verse Daily last Thursday.
