Stories of place from the people who call Mississippi home.
If you're looking for complex and heartfelt meditations on what it means to be from and love Mississippi from people from all walks of life, look no further! The team at Rooted Magazine are putting together some of the most thoughtful writing about place I've read in a long while.
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!)
Jami Attenberg writes about writing with sincere love for the craft, without sugarcoating the hard work necessary to pursue the writing life. Topics range from how to flesh out your characters to how to do research to what it means to be a writer at all. It's comforting to know there's someone out there considering the same questions you are.
