Freelance Writing Jobs is honored to have landed a top space (three years running) in Michael Stelzner’s 2008 list of Top 10 Blogs for Writers. I can tell you the thrill never gets old. In fact, I credit Michael Stelzner and his list for a big boost in traffic and helping us to become what we are today. I also love this list because it turns us on to some terrific new blogs. Congratulations to the FWJ blogging team for all of your hard work.
Here’s Mike’s list in it’s entirety:
- Copyblogger: As the undefeated champ, this blog has held the number-one spot for three straight years! The baby of Brian Clark, this blog keeps winning because of its excellent and educational articles.
- Men With Pens: James Chartrand and Harry McLeod are the dynamic duo who continue to deliver rich content and community discussion.
- Freelance Writing Jobs: Founded by Deb Ng, this site is the first stop for freelance writers seeking new work and great articles (and it remains a top winner since this contest began).
- Write to Done: This blog delivers a steady stream of excellent articles for all writers and is the product of top blogger Leo Babauta.
- Confident Writing: Looking for encouragement? Joanna Young will help you take your writing to the next level.
- The Renegade Writer: Linda Formichelli and Diana Burell, authors of a book by the same name, help freelance journalists find inspiration.
- Remarkable Communication: One part writing, one part marketing and one part selling, this excellent blog by Sonia Simone will help any writer succeed.
- Writing Journey: Looking for a great stop on your writing journey? Bob Younce’s blog will refresh and energize you.
- Freelance Parent: Two moms, Lorna Doone Brewer and Tamara Berry, provide excellent perspective on writing while balancing time with little ones.
- Urban Muse: Susan Johnston covers a wide range of excellent topics that all writers will enjoy.
Congratulations to all!

Congratulations! And thanks for sharing – I added all these blogs to my Google Reader.
Congrats. A well-deserved winner! Keep rocking.
Congratulations! Even as its writers shift and change, the community you’ve built here, Deb, just keeps getting stronger. You all should be very proud of yourselves.
The Pen Men squeaked by ya, huh? Truth be told, it should have been a three way tie for first place. Your blog is wonderful and provides an invaluable service for countless freelancers. Thanks for all your hard work.
I just wanted to de-lurk long enough and congratulate to all of you and thank you for your wonderful work. No matter how long any of us have been freelancing, I think both newbies and seasoned pros can get something out of this site and community and that is what makes it such a great place.
I checked a few blogs on the list (some are my regular stops) but I just wanted to share with you this post I found on Renegade Writer blog.
It truly is a heart breaking story. I do apologize if you heard about it before but I was really moved so I thought it would be ok to share.
