Friday Finds

Hey! Bookfest is on this weekend! If you're in Brisbane I highly recommend. Even if you're not a big reader, they have games and puzzles too.

- Leslie Knope wisdom generator! 

- There's a second part to the 100 years of hair video for black ladies! It is AWESOME!

- This video on why Taylor Swift songs are so catchy is super interesting too.

- These 30 photos of an 1960s nightclub are pretty amazing.

- Jane Goldman and Nikolaj Arcel are working on a Fables movie which makes me pretty darn excited.

- Digital Writers Festival has posted their pre-release program for their 2015 festival. I'll be doing a detailed round up closer to the date, but you can check out these early releases here.

- 24 things no one ever tells you about book publishing.

- The 50 coolest books by women.

- 37 books every creative person should be reading.

The Working Life of Gwyned Filling, the career girl of 1948 is a really interesting read. AC Bern goes back through an old copy of LIFE Magazine to dissect an article covering a week in the life of a working girl in the 40s. It's a great resource, particularly if you're working on something set around the era.

This piece care of Thought Catalogue on women soldiers in the civil war is fascinating too.

Working as a freelance artist, writer or cultural producer? ArtsHub has a terrific piece on their website about how to ask for money.
