Written on the internet

Our weekly roundup of links we hope you’ll find interesting and useful.

  • We begin today with tips for those of you who never have time to write: Michael Moorcock explains how to write a book in three days.
  • An interview with literary agent Julie Barer who tells you that there’s always a market for good writing, but don’t quit your day job right now.
  • Moonrat at Editorial Ass encourages you never to just let it be “what it is.”
  • Great advice on how to craft great voice from agent Nathan Bransford.
  • Writer Darcy Pattison gives you the scoop on book contract essentials.
  • Story isn’t just the province of fiction — great business writing is about story too.
  • And now we leave you with the very wise words of Anne Lamott on finding time (thanks to Lori for the link.) Time to write, and time to live. We think she’s absolutely right. We’re stepping away from Sterling Editing for three weeks to write, rest, play, talk, laugh, read, sit in the sun, and live. We hope you’ll be doing some of that too.

Your Editors are on vacation from May 17 through June 6. We will not be editing, answering email, responding to comments, or scheduling sample edits during that time.

Enjoy your weekend. Writing something wonderful!

If you have a link of interest to writers that you’d like to see in a roundup, please email us or leave a comment.
