I’ve been watching with interest the nominations for ‘Top 10 Blogs For Writers’ that has been going on at Michael Stelzners blog Writing White Papers. It got me thinking and I thought I would put together my own list of ‘top blogs for writers’, especially for new writers. It goes something like this.
1. Ask Allison - this blog written by Allison Winn Scotch is in question and answer form and has provided me with a vast amount of information about the business of writing. As a new writer, this is invaluable.
2. Renegade Writer’s Blog - I loved Diane and Linda‘s book, so was pleased to discover that they have a blog that follows on from where the book left off. With interviews, ideas, and suggestions, it too is providing me with the help I need to get my freelance career of the ground.
3. Freelance Writing Jobs - Deborah Ng’s blog is awesome. The amount of work that she puts into it everyday must be tremendous. It is my homepage and I check it religiously every day. I haven’t yet got any jobs out of it. But I’m sure that will change.
4. Ink thinker - Kristen King provides entertaining and useful posts about the business of writing. It’s easy to read, entertaining, and informative.
5. A Writer's Blog - I stop here every day to see what Karen has to say. She doesn’t provide job leads or Q&A, but it’s nice to stop by and see what another writer is thinking as she pursues a writing career.
I’m leaving it at 5 blogs cause there just isn’t enough time in the day to read everything out there in the blogosphere.
