Writerland is a newsletter from The Delacorte Review whose mission is to help writers tell the stories they need to tell. Writerland began a year and a half ago because I had discovered something unfamiliar and exciting when I returned to writing after so many years away from the work that had dominated my professional life for forty-five years. That search for finding joy in writing -- mine, and those of the writers generous to share their struggles to find that elusive pleasure in the work -- comes from the perspective of someone who has been at this a long time, and for whom the struggles to find my footing are resonant but increasingly distant in a fast-shifting industry and world. The ultimate hope is that it might help writers discover the joy in work so often marked by doubt, fear, and gloom.
