Checking Out Other Writers' Websites

Tuesday January 8, 2008

So, I'm attempting to revamp my personal website, and I browsed a lot of writers' websites for inspiration. I was looking for sites of other freelancers, but Google kept bringing up writer's resource sites, and now my bookmarks are overflowing. Again.

Of course, I'm not going to keep all these great sites to myself, so here's a couple of the best ones to get you surfing.

Freelance Writing: This site is chock full of information, and I'm not even sure I got through the articles I wanted to read. I think that what I like most about this site is that the info is always digestable.

Freelance Writing Gigs: Yes, I've mentioned this site in my list of 20 places to find freelance jobs, and, yes, it's actually a blog, but it is just that good. Still the site to beat for finding freelance jobs, listed every morning!

Writers Weekly: Know what I like about this site? They send their updates right into my inbox!

Freelance Writing Association: Sure, they're Canucks, but don't hold that against them! They've got an article library you simply must check out.

MomWriters>: I'm sure dads are welcome, too, but I like this site because of its sweet, folksy community.

My goodness, there's just millions of writers and writer communities out there. Feel free to add your own.

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the visits. I have the Writing Coach bookmarked already. Must have stumbled across you somewhere else. Your “voki” is funny!

Joyce- Your website is gorgeous, especially the flash intro.

Hey Allena

Thanks for stopping by my site. It’s a freelance mentoring blog covering all kinds of issues. You’re right, there are hundreds of writing blogs – and that’s just in my feed reader ;)
