Other Writing-Related WordPress Blogs

Due to other commitments (client editing, my writing, competition judging, Writers’ Forum column etc.,
I’m not currently taking any guest items but will update this page when I am.

If you’ve been interviewed on another WordPress site, then feel free to email me the link and I’ll gladly reblog it.

Below is a list of some of the rebloggable* writing-related WordPress blogs I’ve come across in my travels (*rebloggable = WordPress.com sites with a ‘reblog’ option at the top (when logged in), hosted by WordPress rather than a third-party organisation).

Do you have a (predominantly) writing-related WordPress blog that you’d be happy for me to reblog from? If so, please email me.
