Writers' Weblogs

Liz Klastrup inquires for weblogs written by "professional" print writers.

This is a problematic category, because many notable writers are not, strictly speaking, professional: most writers earn the greater part of their income from teaching or practicing a profession rather than directly from their royalties. In a sense, the most professional writers are technical writers and journalists. But I think Klastrup is thinking of novelists.

Klastrup mentions Bruce Sterling's weblog at Infinite Matrix. Two print writers' weblogs grew out of book tours: Neil Gaiman and Shelley Jackson.
