An online journal and some blogs that I’ve come across this month:
The Summerset Review: this online journal has been around since 2002, and the current issue features a story (“Off the Map,” by Jon Morgan Davies) that’s told almost entirely in flash-forward, speeding through the consequences of teenage love.
Raintaxi features book reviews and essays. The winter issue (online) includes an interview with stellar nonfiction writer/naturalist Terry Tempest Williams.
MotherReader (“the heart of a mother; the soul of a reader; the mouth of a smartass”) comes from a children’s library assistant who’s also mom to two school-age girls. She seems to be blogging anonymously. Lots of reading recommendations for kids’ books, plus she’s funny. She devotes a recent entry to Festivus, airing her grievances.
And What Women Write, a rotating blog from a group of writers in various stages of their careers, mostly fiction, it looks like. Short essay-like posts, and interviews with writers and agents.
