More Writing Blogs to Check Out

I thought I'd take this opportunity to spotlight a few other writing blogs you might like to visit in addition to this one!

First up, my colleague Dr Suzanne (Suzie) Harris has just launched a blog specifically devoted to non-fiction writing. It's at http://nonfictionmuse.blogspot.com/. Suzie was one of the first people to buy my Write Any Book in Under 28 Days course, and since then her writing career has gone from strength to strength. This particular blog has only just been launched so there isn't much on it yet, but if you're interested in writing non-fiction books and articles, it's definitely one to keep an eye on.

The second blog I wanted to mention is goodcopybadcopy, by professional writer and editor Clare Lynch. I actually discovered this when I noticed that I was getting a number of visitors to my own blog from this site, so many thanks for putting me on your "blogroll", Clare!

On her "About Me" page, Clare writes:

I'm a professional writer and editor with many years' experience in journalism and corporate communications. My clients include global banks, commercial and residential real estate firms, direct marketing companies and magazines. I also have a PhD in Old English poetry from the University of Cambridge.

My passion for the English language is almost matched by the splenetic pleasure I take in spotting its increasingly frequent abuses. Primarily for those in business, this blog aims to help readers avoid the common pitfalls that befall many writers - non-professional and otherwise.

Clare's blog includes lots of interesting observations about the good and bad use of English. If, like me, you are fascinated by grammar and punctuation and don't like to see them abused, it's a "must read".

And finally, I'd like to give a quick plug to my near-neighbour Linda Jones of Passionate Media Relations, who actually has three blogs. There's her journalism and PR blog at http://passionatemedia.typepad.com/, her freelance writing blog at http://www.freelancewritingtips.com/, and her blog devoted to news and features about having twins, triplets and more at http://www.gotyourhandsfull.com/ (great URL, by the way!). They are all well worth reading, though obviously the latter one may or may not be relevant to you!

Finally, just a quick invitation. If you have a blog or a website relevant to writers, would you be interested in swapping links with me? If so, drop me a line at e-writer-at-nickdaws.co.uk (change the -at- to the usual @ sign). I'll be happy to mention your site here (as long as I like it!), in exchange for a link to my blog from yours.

Happy blogging!
