Kerri Buckley blogs about the writing life.

One thing that has helped me to improve as a writer is joining certain e-lists. I do have my favorites, and I’ve listed them below. While some lists are just into announcing, the top lists below inform – as well as announce. As writers, our learning just sort of continues to spiral forward, and you can’t possibly learn everything from one source, from formal education, books, networking, etc. It is also best sometimes to learn from others’ mistakes, and on these top lists, some writers generously share their worst experiences along with their best. To the moderators of these lists, I’d like to say thanks a bunch!

All of these lists are excellent. There is also a disctinct PNW flavor here, since I live in the PNW, but try them out for yourself, and email me at goldenwordsmith@yahoo.com if you have any others to recommend.

All the best,
