For those readers who don’t use Twitter or who didn’t catch these links the first time I tweeted them, I’ve decided to post a select time-sucking round-up of my most-retweeted links from the past month. Topics will always be some combination of literary agents, editing, memoir and finding grants for writers.
On literary agents
Questions to ask a literary agent before signing a contract, from Writers Relief
How Can You Manage So Many Clients? from the Steve Laube Agency
On memoir and creative nonfiction
A seriously insightful interview on the process of writing memoir with author Ashley Dartnell, by Pam Johnson of the interview-rich Words Unlimited blog
Phillip Lopate on the necessity of a memoirist’s double perspective – a creative nonfiction class in one essay, and possibly the best thing I’ve read on memoir aside from Vivian Gornick’s The Situation and the Story.
