This is heart work

All-things writing, storytelling, language, sentence-level craft obsession, and general literary goodness.

The miniature version of #1000wordsofsummer, seventh edition: March 2-7, 2024.

One small step for woman, one giant leap for...never mind. Enough with the baby steps.

Writing that boldly disregards normal restraints.

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. (In 2024 it begins 6/1!)

Written from a journalist in a red state, this newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny and always raises hell.
