Friday Finds

- The Speakeasy blog is continuing their wonderful series with the editors of a variety of Australian lit journals. The most recent is with Zora Sanders of Meanjin, who I had the pleasure of hearing read at NYWF (she is seriously so, so funny). She has her professional hat on in this interview, but it's a great reflection of Meanjin and a good piece to read even if you're not a writer (but especially if you are). You can check it out here.


- Kill Your Darlings online contributions continue to win at life. One of their more recent ones, written by Stephanie Van Schilt talks about the phenomenon of Bitchface and argues the case of Smugface as a kind of dastardly and more sinister alternative. It's a pretty great post, full of awesome links, so you should check it out.

- Visible Ink has made a great post entitled 'Five Thoughts on Submitting to Journals'. It's a good article and one definitely worth the read if you're looking at submitting your work on a one-off or ongoing process.

- I am totally in love with Eat this Poem, a food blog where each recipe is inspired by a poem. It's really, really beautiful stuff. This coconut one is my favourite so far.

- These stylish cover designs of Harry Potter textbooks are super great too. I've been a huge fan of the series since I got the first book for my eighth birthday, and I get awfully inspired by the degree to which the fandom engages with the series, and this is such a great and beautiful example of that. The fact that the series can inspire such creative output from its readers is awesome.

- To take you home this weekend, check out these 15 topics to get you writing.
