Best Websites/Blogs for Writers! (Nominate)

I really need to get a whole list of the best websites and blogs for writers to post here on the blog. But instead of deciding on my own which are best, I thought I'd let you all decide...

So please leave a comment below telling me which website/blogs you couldn't live without as a writer.

Please keep in mind, these could be writing forums/agent's blogs/editor's blogs..... BUT this is NOT the time to help your favorite CP gain more followers for their blog.


  • Only nominate up to three sites. 
  • Please do not nominate a site that has already been nominated. 
  • Please be professional.


Depending on how many nominations we get, we'll then vote and the top choices will be posted here on CLC.

Thank you!

  1. There are SO MANY.

    One of my favorites is now with Writers Digest- successful queries where agents post a query from someone they signed and explain what worked about it http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/guide-to-literary-agents/successful-queries

    Then of course Absolute write forums- particularly the Bewares, Recommendations & Background Check section where there is thread for basically every publisher and agent out there with information (good and bad) about them. Love it. http://absolutewrite.com/forums/

    And my last favorite... Querytracker.net

  15. To be honest,this has become one of my favorite's because I have found so many great blogs from this site. A friend from web design columbia sc told me about it so I would stop asking him for sites to check out.
