Friday Finds for Writers

Treasure Chest
Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.

  • From the NPR Social Media Desk: “What We Can Learn from the Kardashians.” (Did I really just write that?)
  • Looking for some prompts? Check out these 500 samples “for narrative and personal writing” from the New York Times Learning Network. (Thanks to Lisa Romeo for this find.)
  • Much to my chagrin, I missed the AP’s holiday-themed Style Chat earlier this week. Thankfully, Poynter had me covered.
  • Many congratulations to the latest group of poets to have won fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.
  • I’m consistently impressed by (and, truth be told, a little envious of) my writer friends who seem to be as gifted/talented in other artistic areas as they are in writing. Latest example/reminder: Deonne Kahler, photographer.

    • Happy weekend!

    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.”
