I've been crazy busy (thank the freelance gods), so even the link list is short this week. But I am cooking up several author interviews and guest posts for the next month or so, including one with the inimitable Bill Roorbach. So stay tuned. Meanwhile...
►Some
good tips
from Robert Lee Brewer about experimenting as a writer, and getting out of
that comfort zone.
► I
try to keep tabs on the precious few book manuscript contests for creative
nonfiction, and found this one, from Zone 3
press, with a May 1 deadline.
► Robert
Vivian has some thoughts
on the meditative essay.
►If
you are considering adding a new poetry book to your collection, NPR
previews a dozen good ones set for 2012 release.
►As
a teenager, I wanted to be a sports columnist for the New York Times; and still love to read their sports pages.
Yesterday, Jere
Longman's column hit several of my buttons -- Royal gossip, an equestrian athlete,
jocks behaving badly (in this case rugby players), and anything British. But
mostly I loved it because of Longman's excellent craft and hilarious style.
►Finally,
wouldn't be cool if a U.S. department
store held literary events, housed a reading space, and if a fast food
chain on this side of the pond were to give
away, oh 9 million books?
