Blogs for Writers

Thanks to John Hewitt for publishing a list of blogs for writers. There are many good blogs on his list, including this one, and a few I am not familiar as yet.

How many of these bloggers do you read?

• Anne Wayman: Anne runs one of my favorite writing sites, which both offers original advice and keeps track of what the other blogs are saying.

• John August: The screenwriter behind such movies as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Fish, Go, and Charlie’s Angels writes the best screen writing blog around.
• Deborah Ng: Focuses on freelance writing and blogging jobs.
• Angela Booth: If it’s about freelance writing, and it’s fab, you can bet Angela Booth is behind it. Plenty of advice for freelancers to digest.
• Jeanne Dininni: Excellent advice for writers and bloggers, especially from a mechanics perspective.
• David J. Montgomery: Writes about crime fiction and mysteries.
• Monica Valentinelli : Includes plenty of tips for freelance writers and game designers.
• Denise Grier: Denise is one of the most prolific bloggers I have ever seen. She posts a dozen times a day. Not everything is on topic, but I like that.
