#ThrowbackThursday: Writer’s Digest October 1922

Some 90-odd years ago, Writer’s Digest was still providing valuable tips and insight on the writing craft. We dove back into our archives—a full bookcase of hardbound antiques that would make any writer/booklover swoon—to give you a glimpse at some of our favorite bits from the October 1922 issue.

Writer’s Digest used to have a “Department of Criticism” —a place readers could submit their work to be critiqued by an editor.

My personal favorite—an ad for the Hammond typewriter. Check out the font options!
