Brevity Changes: More Content, More Often
October 20, 2011 § 7 Comments
Loyal Brevity Readers: We’ve decided on a small change. Rather than launching a full issue of essays, craft essays, and book review essays all at once three-times-per-year, which has been our modus operandi for the past decade or so, we are going to experiment with releasing book review essays and craft essays here on the blog, when they come in, roughly once per month (though we aren’t worried about a strict schedule.) The book reviews and craft essays will show up on the Brevity site as well, but will be premiered right here. More content, more often.
And yes, we are always looking for guest bloggers. Read a good book or essay in a magazine, attended a panel on nonfiction, ran across a stupid attack on the genre by someone who should know better? You can contact us at brevitymag(at)gmail.com to pitch your blog essay. Yes, authors can also use this forum to introduce their own books: guest blog for us on the challenges of writing your book or some other aspect of the craft or business. Pure advertising copy, however, will be returned to sender.
And what else? You tell us. We like to think of this blog as The (Somewhat) Daily News of Literary Nonfiction, so if you see ways to enhance our front page, tell us.
Great idea! You do a fabulous job already and I’m glad you’re there.

Excellent!
I like this idea. Brilliant!
Worthwhile, and with the comment possibility, a chance for a dialog about craft essays.
Your changes sound great. this has become my favorite writing blog. thanks for all your work.
This is a good idea and will strengthen the collegiality and community of the blog. I will get cracking on some possible topics to suggest.
As for the front page, while I like the clean uncluttered design, I wonder if adding sidebars for “Popular Posts” and suggestions for related content might be possible. I often discover relevant and interesting content that way.
