I’m delighted to announce that this site (JaneFriedman.com) has been named a 101 Best Website for Writers in the newest issue of Writer’s Digest (May/June 2015). This is the third year in a row my site has been honored.
If you’re not familiar with this annual feature, 101 Best Websites for Writers has been compiled by the editors at Writer’s Digest for more than 17 years. It’s organized into eight categories:
- Creativity
- Writing advice (where this site falls)
- Agents
- Publishing/marketing resources
- Jobs and markets
- Online writing communities
- Genres/niches
- Just for fun
I’d like to offer a quick shout-out to a few other winners whose sites I frequent!
- Writer Beware by Victoria Strauss
- Writer Unboxed, hosted by Therese Walsh
- The Creative Penn by Joanna Penn
- Bo Sacks by Bo Sacks
The entire list is full of worthy and wonderful sites; get your Writer’s Digest issue to see them all.
