#4 Copyblogger

When  it  comes  to  popular  blogs  about  copy,  Copyblogger  has  to  be  one  at  the  peak  of  the  pile.  Some  blogs  focus  more  on  the  craZ  of  wri+ng,  but  others  go  out  onto  more  obscure  subjects.  This  one  is  seminal  in  the  field  –  don’t  miss  it!

#8 Make a Living Writing

The  +tle  might  sound  like  a  hokey  marke+ng  scam,  but  Carol  Tice  is  featured  on  Copyblogger  and  knows  her  stuff;  there’s  also  a  very  helpful  and  suppor+ve  community  that  she’s  built  around  it.  Many  of  her  posts  have  more  comments  than  TwiPer  shares,  which  says  something.  A  must-­‐read!
