The Big List of Writing Blogs

By Jennifer Mattern on 14th August, 2007Filed in Writers' Resources

Don't miss the latest posts, tools, freelance writing jobs, and more from the All Freelance Writing team. Subscribe today!

Here is a list of writing blogs broken into three sections: blogs for writers (offering tips and resources for writers), writers’ blogs (personal blogs of writers or editors, detailing mostly their own work), and blogs on blogging (specifically about blog writing / management, since blogging encompasses much more than writing). If I’ve missed writing blogs that you’re aware of, or that you run, please leave a comment with the blog’s name and URL, and I’ll continually update this list to reflect any suggestions that I approve.

Here’s another writer’s blog:

On another note: Thanks for this list! This will give me some more blogs to visit. :)

  • Jennifer Mattern

    • Added it. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

  • Sharon Hurley Hall

    • What a great list and thanks for including my blog. Here’s one for the ‘one to watch’ category. InspiredAuthor.com will be relaunching within the next few weeks. The new platform will include blogs from all the contributing editors (I’m one of them but the site is owned by publisher Suzanne James) on various subjects relating to writing.

  • latoya

    Good list! Very comprehensive. Thanks for putting it together.

  • Matt Keegan

    Thank you for adding me to your list, Jenn.

  • Jeanne Dininni

    Hi, Jennifer,

    My blog, Writer’s Notes, provides resources of various types for writers. It would be great if you’d add it to your list! Can’t wait to check out the other blogs that I don’t recognize!

    Thanks for assembling these links all in one convenient place!

    Regards,
    Jeanne

  • Jennifer Mattern

    It’s added. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

  • Jeanne Dininni

    Jennifer,

    Thanks so much for adding Writer’s Notes to your list! That was certainly quick! I’ve added All Freelance Writing to my Helpful Sites for Writers list, as well!

  • Lillie Ammann

    Thanks for including my blog on your list, Jennifer.

    Your post inspired me to create a list of some of my favorite writers’ blogs and link to this list. There are several on my list that aren’t included here. If you like to add any of them, the list is at http://lillieammann.com/blog/2007/08/24/blogs-by-and-for-writers/

  • Laura

    Thanks for including me on the Big List of Blogs! This is a great resource for writers and others!

  • Georganna Hancock

    Thanks so much for including A Writer’s Edge in your list, Jennifer. Very nice looking blog you have here! I’m glad I found it.

  • PKL

    Great blog! Here’s mine:

    http://neurilace.blogspot.com – by the winner of a 2003 Cinescape genre novel contest and recently a semi-finalist for the Aeon Award. (Apologies for blowing my own horn!)

  • chrisblogging.com

    I wouldnt mind being added to your list! If you like my blog of course…

  • Jennifer Mattern

    You’re already on there Chris. I had added you after seeing you listed in another post from someone in the list. I put you in the blogs on blogging category. If that doesn’t sound right (if blogging isn’t the focus or I missed something), let me know, and I’ll consider moving it. :)

  • Matt

    Jenn, would you mind looking at my site to see if it warrants inclusion? :) (I put you on my blogroll)

  • Jennifer Mattern

    I just added it to the Writers’ Blogs section Matt. And thanks for the blogroll link!

  • Matt

    Thanks!. And you’re welcome! :)

  • Tammi

    Thanks for including me on the list. I really appreciate it:):)

  • Morgan Hawke

    Would you consider adding my writer’s blog to your list?
    — Despite that fact that the subject matter (writing Erotic Romance) is adult in nature, the actual How-To content is not.

  • Jennifer Mattern

    I did add it Morgan, but with a little note that it may potentially contain adult content (as different people would have different definitions of “adult” content… figured it was best to warn the potentially easily offended).

  • Daria Black

    Hello, I run a site for writers as well and would love it if I could be added to this great list.

    http://figmeant.com

    Thanks and have a great day :)

  • Jennifer Mattern

    Nice site Daria. It’s added. :)

  • James Chartrand

    Got another potential for your list, Jennifer, and it’d be great to see our name up there soon. Nice job on your blog, by the way!

  • Susan

    Here’s another writing blog (written by yours truly): http://theurbanmuse.blogspot.com/.

    Also, the editor at Writer’s Digest also recently launched a blog that might be of interest: http://www.writersdigest.com/writersperspective/.

  • Jennifer Mattern

    I believe I’ve added all of the recent suggestions to the list now, to whatever I deemed the most appropriate category based on recent posts.

  • Daria Black

    Thank you Jennifer. I really appreciate that. Have a great one :)

  • Dana

    Thanks for including me on this list. What a great list! I’m stumbling & bookmarking this one :D

  • Yuwanda Black

    Jennifer,

    Would love to have my blog added to this illustrious list!

    Thanks for the consideration, and Happy New Year!

    Jennifer,

    Forget my request — you already added my blog (I was looking for it by the URL, not the title name (How to Start a Successful Freelance Career).

    You’re the best :-)

  • Kitt

    I just started a blog for writers – a place for stories started, but never finished.

    It’s been contributed to by mostly friends right now, but I hope to get more contributions by other writers.

    http://foreverunfinished.blogspot.com/

  • Jacob Malewitz

    My site is called A Writer’s Eye and is updated 4-5 times a week, with articles on writing, book reviews, the occasional market list, and my own experiences in the writing field. I hope you find it good enough to add.

  • Coursework

    What a great list and thanks for including my blog. Here’s one for the ‘one to watch’ category. InspiredAuthor.com will be relaunching within the next few weeks. The new platform will include blogs from all the contributing editors (I’m one of them but the site is owned by publisher Suzanne James) on various subjects relating to writing.

  • Barbara

    What a great comprehensive list. I’m glad I Stumbled onto it. Thank you! I’m adding you to my feed.

    Want to add mine? http://bloggingwithoutablog.com

    I am trying to help new bloggers as they enter into blogosphere. I also showcase a new blogger (4 months old or less) each week to get them more attention. No question is a stupid question on my site.

  • Buy Essay

    This is really super website which gives us complete blog list.

    Thank you very much allfreelancewriting.com

  • Alex

    Hello Jennifer,

    I’ve recently discovered your blog and I must congratulate you for all the work and dedication you visibly put into it. I think it is a wonderful resource for writers and even if my blog (Blogsessive.com) addresses to blog owners and publishers I will recommend yours by putting a link in the “Blogs We Love” blogroll section, for all the good information that you constantly provide.

    Thank you!

  • Arian

    Howdy,
    Nice list, and useful content,
    just wanted to tell you that Writer’s Tips is a dead link so you might consider updating the list :) .

  • Marie Ann Bailey

    Hi, Jennifer,

    My blog, 1WriteWay, provides reviews of and links to writing resources, including writing blogs and author websites. Please include my blog in your list under blogs for writers. Thanks a bunch! You have an incredible list assembled.

    Best,
    Marie

    I have a blog about my experiences as a freelance writer/editor–I’d love to see it added to your list!

    It’s called Written Expressions: the blog.

  • larissa archer

    Hi-
    I have a blog called “Writhing in Apathy” at http://www.larissaarcher.blogspot.com; I’ve posted articles I’ve written in the past as well as essays on working for magazines. Mostly it’s filled with stories about the ridiculous things that happen to me. If it’s appropriate for your list, please add it.
    Thanks!
    Larissa

  • Sarah Collins

    I’m going to shamelessly suggest my blog as a great resource for writers — especially those just starting out. It links to the home page of my website, but I’ll provide the direct link to make life easier for surfers:

    http://www.sarahcollins.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=2&Itemid=35

    Thanks for giving it a review. This is a great resource you’ve got here!

  • Gina Collia-Suzuki

    Hi Jennifer,

    I am a writer who blogs. Would these two of mine qualify for inclusion?

    http://dieneighbour.blogspot.com

    http://ginacolliasuzuki.blogspot.com

    In case the first blog seems a little confusing at first, the interviews are with one of the principal characters of my latest novel.

    All the best,

    Gina
