HaleviIn which I participate in David Abrams’s “Sunday Sentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”

dollar-sign-mdMonday brings the weekly batch of no-fee competitions/contests, paying submission calls, and jobs for those of us who write (especially those of us who write fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction).

  • ICYMI: The December issue of The Practicing Writer has gone out to subscribers. As always, it is packed with no-fee competition info and (paying) calls for submissions.
  • “Each term, GrubStreet offers scholarships to writers who demonstrate financial need and who will most benefit from a writing workshop. Recipients may use their scholarship for any class within the term for which they are applying.” Next deadline: December 4, noon (Boston time).
  • From Framingham State University (Massachusetts): “The English Department invites gifted writers and teachers to apply for a tenure-track position to teach creative writing, first-year writing, and literature.”
  • “Aesop seeks dedicated and enthusiastic individuals to manage our store in Chelsea, New York City. This unique store was created in collaboration with the Paris Review.”
  • Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore) is looking for a writer who “will assist with web writing for the Hub, the news website of Johns Hopkins University.”
