Cool Site Alert*: Brevity
Edited by the mysteriously-named Dinty W. Moore, Brevity is an online journal of ultra-short (that’s 750 words or less, to you) nonfiction essays.
Brevity publishes in ‘issues’ rather than ongoingly; Issue 23 is up now. It’s the literary equivalent of a small Whitman’s sampler, ten delectable non-fictive morsels by ten interesting people I want to know more about.
The journal has a blog, too, where they kindly wrote a short piece about this website, and posted a much more impressive photo of Kurt Vonnegut than the one I was able to dig up.
But enough from me. Go check out Brevity.
I’m experimenting with more editorial-type posts, and I’ll be back from time to time, introducing sites whose projects resonate with 400 Words’ whole thing.
*Yes, the title of this post is kind of a weak allusion Sassy magazine’s ‘Cute Band Alert’ column. Incidentally, though I haven’t read it yet, someone recently wrote a whole book about the best defunct magazine of all time.
