Hello, Web Writers,
I actually subscribe to very few blogs — I can’t tolerate too many emails urging me to read the daily poem, etc. — but I do subscribe to Brevity’s Nonfiction Blog. I have found several occasions to link to a post for use in my writing course. The blog posts often ask writers to discuss their contributions to Brevity Magazine — a quarterly publication of flash nonfiction.
I also like a blog called Essay Daily. I have used this post, by an author named Stephanie G’Schwind, for classroom discussion. In it she discusses one possible structure of a long narrative essay, an assignment in my course. I think these sorts of posts can be easily accessible to students, introducing ideas that might be more complicated to discuss in traditional textbook format.
Thanks for the info on Brevity. I’m not a blogwatcher/ subscriber, so it’s nice to get trusted recommendations!
