CRAFT TALK

By Craft Talk

CRAFT TALK is a weekly newsletter about writing, creativity and productivity from author Jami Attenberg. This is also the home of #1000wordsofsummer, where, once a year, we write 1000 words a day together for two weeks straight.

I was happy to be included in Jami's recent craft book, and admire her work - and what she does for the writing community.

SubMakk

By Rebecca Makkai

Rebecca Makkai's Substack: mostly writing and books! but also Zillow, true crime, etymology, food, general inanity

Rebecca is one of the smartest working writers we have. I met her a decade ago and still think about the lecture I heard her give then. When she talks about craft, I listen.
