A modern mystery writer who loves vintage crime, I share thoughts on holidays, travel, and the strange logic people use when they lie, stall, or dodge the truth. A quiet conversation for readers who like noir, curiosity, and honesty more than hype.
CRAFT TALK is a weekly newsletter about writing, creativity and productivity from author Jami Attenberg. This is also the home of #1000wordsofsummer, where, once a year, we write 1000 words a day together for two weeks straight.
This is mostly a blog about writing fiction, especially crime fiction, especially that beguiling, elusive form, the short story. But I'm going to talk about novels, music, songwriting, movies, and lots of other stuff, too.
