We get quite a view visitors from Canada here at Practicing Writing. This is for you, friends!
I’ve been meaning to share this find (which I discovered thanks to the Paying Writer Jobs group) with you for awhile, and now seems to be the time! It’s a list of resources and tips for Canadian writers, with a focus on locating grants and awards. Enjoy.
Over on my Web site, you’ll find a “Resources” page designed to assist practicing fictionists, poets, and writers of creative nonfiction. A considerable chunk of the page is devoted to a chronological listing of the resources spotlighted in each month’s Practicing Writer newsletter. The newsletter will soon celebrate its fifth birthday, so I think this is a good time to remind you of the years’ worth of “finds” you can peruse via a single screen. Enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend.
What a Wednesday! Here’s raising a virtual glass to the following Practicing Writer pals!
Congratulations to Tayari Jones, one of eight writers recently awarded a United States Artists Foundation grant.
And congratulations to Deonne Kahler, the new Editor-in-Chief of Ozone Park.
And on a happily related note, kudos to Lisa Romeo, a contributor to the debut issue of the aforementioned Ozone Park, who read from her work at Monday’s launch party.
Want some tips on winning grants for your writing? Check out this sage advice from BJ Epstein.

I was wandering around Lisa Romeo’s blog, and found a link to a terrific article Lisa published offering tips for reading your work in public.

I’ve posted some thoughts on Danit Brown’s Ask for a Convertible over on my other blog.
At long last, the day has come. Today is the LAST day you can access our e-book detailing 275 contests, grants, scholarships, and similar opportunities to enrich your writing practice without paying “entry” or “reading” fees to do so–and at a vastly discounted price. Tomorrow our guide will be withdrawn from circulation. Get it while you can!
