The best blogs for writers

blogIf you’re a writer constantly trying to improve your writing skills, you probably subscribe to a few blogs about writing, publishing, and marketing your book. But time is limited, so you can’t read them all, and there are so many blogs on writing out there that it’s hard to know which ones are worth reading.

I put together a list of my personal favorites. Here they are in alphabetical order:

Janice Hardy’s great blog about writing is updated every day.
