Michael A. Stelzner’s Top Ten Blogs for Writers

by JM

I don’t usually post about the ‘best blogs’ lists because I usually prefer to talk about my favourite blogs to give things a personal feel. However, many of my favourite blogs are on this list and have been talking about it for a while. You’d do well to at least check out these blogs if not add them to your feed reader.

Straight from Writing White Pages:

“If you’re a writer, you’ll find daily doses of inspiration and discovery at these excellent blogs:

1. Copyblogger: As the undefeated champ, this blog has held the number-one spot for three straight years! The baby of Brian Clark, this blog keeps winning because of its excellent and educational articles.
2. Men With Pens: James Chartrand and Harry McLeod are the dynamic duo who continue to deliver rich content and community discussion.
3. Freelance Writing Jobs: Founded by Deb Ng, this site is the first stop for freelance writers seeking new work and great articles (and it remains a top winner since this contest began).
4. Write to Done: This blog delivers a steady stream of excellent articles for all writers and is the product of top blogger Leo Babauta.
5. Confident Writing: Looking for encouragement? Joanna Young will help you take your writing to the next level.
6. The Renegade Writer: Linda Formichelli and Diana Burell, authors of a book by the same name, help freelance journalists find inspiration.
7. Remarkable Communication: One part writing, one part marketing and one part selling, this excellent blog by Sonia Simone will help any writer succeed.
8. Writing Journey: Looking for a great stop on your writing journey? Bob Younce’s blog will refresh and energize you.
9. Freelance Parent: Two moms, Lorna Doone Brewer and Tamara Berry, provide excellent perspective on writing while balancing time with little ones.
10. Urban Muse: Susan Johnston covers a wide range of excellent topics that all writers will enjoy.”

    Thanks for mentioning the top 10 and linking to FWJ. Mike’s list and the nominees are how I find new writing blogs to subscribe to - and I’m never disappointed. And as James said, it really is an honor.
