I Like This--You Should Visit: Wordy Girls...

Here's a blog I've recently come across that you might like. Wordy Girls is a group blog whose participants include Laura Purdie Salas, Bonnie Becker, Susan Taylor Brown, and Susan Heyboer-O'Keefe. The authors write about conferences, school visits, books, SCBWI, advice for beginners, poetry, and myriad children's writing-related topics. (I liked Laura's recent post on how writing for children is a lot like American Idol. )

The idea of a group blog is pretty cool. It allows the participants to offer frequent posts with a more relaxed time commitment than that of a solo blogger, and it allows readers glimpses into the writing lives of varied authors with varied experiences writing in varied genres, all through one portal. If there are other group blogs you like (or if you participate in one) please post a comment. I'd love to check out more of these.
