I’m not sure why it is that online college websites are obsessed with making lists of resources for writers – last year a similar site put together a list of Top 100 Creative Writing blogs and featured Becoming A Fiction Writer on it – but I’m glad they do it, because these lists are actually full of useful and interesting sites.
Recently someone from the Online Degree site emailed me to let me know about their list of 100 Online Resources That Will Make You A Better Writer. I don’t usually plug stuff just because it lands in my in-box, but this is another pretty good list of sites that are useful to writers. Whether reading any of these things will actually make you a better writer is not something I’m 100% convinced of – I’m sure the best way to become a better writer is to simply write a lot – but you could definitely learn a thing or two, and spend a few hours surfing.
The list includes information for freelance writers, publishers’ sites, info on agents, stuff for screenwriters if you’re so inclined (I’m not, I wonder if I ever will be?), fiction sites, blogs and online community links. Basically, it’s a smorgasbord of cool writing sites, including quite a few that I already haunt regularly. Check it out if you have a spare hour or two – but please don’t use it to procrastinate when you should be writing, or I’ll feel guilty.
