Exploring books, bodies and the topic of pleasure in writing that spans personal essays, book reviews, author interviews and a bit of salacious sex chat for good measure. Plus, everything I'm learning while writing my first book (out in May '26).
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. (In 2025 it begins 5/31!)
Essays, criticism, and commentary on food, culture, and media sent out on Monday morning. Subscribers receive every post in full, are invited to join the weekly Salon and Desk Book Club, and much more.
