My regular authory rec! It’s not free but I’ve found it worth the cost to not have to pull PDFs — you just enter your byline on whatever sites you write for and it will pull all your work for you and it will live even if the site you wrote for kills the vertical (coughFANGRRLScough) authory.com

A note to all the journalists and writers out there: Save PDFs of all of your pieces published online NOW.

Don't be like me and spend your Friday night creating PDFs based off Wayback Machine screen grabs of your articles/essays that were published on now-defunct websites.

Hi artists, I'm teaching a free class later this month for BIPOC artists on how to write & edit your artist's statement for applications to grants & more.

Do you have a successful example of your artist's statement that you'd be willing to share with me? I'd anonymize. Please DM & we can discuss!

I want to highlight this stupid fucking bullshit because literally EVERY TIME an AI writing company has a website, they always have a screenshot that looks good until you read the words that are on the screenshot.
