Literary Lagniappe

In Literary Lagniappe we share extra tidbits about our experiences as writers and other sundry musings.

Go Set a Watchman: Listening to the Hard Truth

Kate Newton
on Books
Clichés may be the bane of good writing, but sometimes there’s no easier way to say I wish I had more time to read, than, well, I wish I had more time to read. I don’t even wonder where the time went, because I... Read More...

Is There Gender Bias in Publishing? A Female Writer’s Pseudonym Experiment

Kelly Sarabyn
on Books, on Writing
Catherine Nichols wrote an interesting article about querying her novel first under her own name, and then under a man’s name, as a kind of scientific experiment. The results were depressing: the "male" writer ... Read More...

Write a Book Already!

Tabitha Lord
on Writing
I wanted to be a writer when I was a little girl – also an astronaut, an archeologist, and a doctor. I almost got there with the doctor thing, but medical school with small children was, for me, an impossible b... Read More...

Need an Antidote to the Summer Doldrums? Your Favorite Books Go to the Movies!

Maribel Garcia
on Books, Should I Watch?
It’s that time of year. In the literary calendar, the month of August is that blasé space between all of the book hoopla of June and July’s great “beach reads” and the much-anticipated literary debuts of autumn... Read More...

Sarahlyn Bruck
on Books

Coming to Terms with the Truth About Atticus Finch

Kate Newton
on Books
The hottest news in the literary world is the July 14 release of Harper Lee’s book Go Set a Watchman. As someone who devoured To Kill a Mockingbird in eighth grade and reread it several times since then, I was ... Read More...

Check “Book Clutter” Off Your To Do List

Maribel Garcia
on Books
Checklist: "a type of informational job aid used to reduce failure by compensating for potential limits of human memory and attention. It helps to ensure consistency and completeness in carrying out a task. A b... Read More...

When Good Books Make Bad Mistakes

Kate Newton
on Reading
First, let me say as a disclaimer that Donna Tartt is one of my favorite authors. I’ve only read two of her books—but then, she’s only written three. She writes a book about every ten years. Considering I’m jus... Read More...

What is that you’re reading — or not reading?

Maribel Garcia
on Reading
I’m a well-read person.  I am, I really am. I hate looking stupid—don’t we all?  How many of us consider ourselves well read, highly educated, thus “cultured,” but one tiny snub about the book in our hand (Gon... Read More...
