The best blogs for writers

Table of Contents

If 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:

  • Fiction University: Janice Hardy’s great blog about writing is updated every day.
  • Jami Gold: When it comes to craft advice for writers, Jami Gold’s blog is probably my favorite.
  • Jane Friedman: Jane Friedman, the former publisher of Writer’s Digest, blogs about the publishing industry in the digital age.
