Top Ten Freelance Writing Info Blogs

As a new freelance writer, I am on a continuous hunt to find writing advice, job opportunities and personal stories from experienced writers that have been in the field of freelancing for several years. Besides websites, I have run across lots of resources and information within the blogging community. There are literally thousands of ways to find information on becoming a freelance writing professional. There are books that range anywhere from $10-50, pamphlets and brochures for sale via PDF format, and associations to join that all offer the same thing: How To Become A Successful Writer and other related information.

Luckily, for frugal people such as myself, there are professional writers who thought it would be a good idea to share their jewels of wisdom via blogging, for free. Whether or not someone is paying these kind folk to blog or not, it is "on the house" and can be a very valuable source.

Below is a list of ten blogs that have a variety of information for all writers regardless of experience.


1. www.TheGoldenPencil.Com that uses the slogan, "The Freelance Writer's Resource" is a site run by a writer named Anne Wayman. The blog lists the infamous 31 Days of Freelancing Tips, which are tips that are written by Anne, and a host of other writers that were invited to share their advice. Anne also posts freelance writing jobs on a weekly basis that can be received by email upon request.


2. www.FreelanceWriting.Com/Blog is published by Brian Scott and offers a listing of freelance writing work tips on how to find work and articles that offer business and writing advice.


3. www.Freelancesteps.Blogspot.Com is a blog dedicated to finding writing jobs and listing them daily.
