After actively running this website for almost half a year, I would like to make a list of the blogs/blog sections (in alphabetic order) that I find insightful and informative for writers, readers, and publishers. Most of them are also very well designed, which means that you can enjoy a visual feast while savouring news feeds from the publishing world:
- Author Solution: Keith Ogorek shares tips on writing, self publishing, book marketing, and bookselling
- Book Venture: a website owned by a publishing company; long and informative posts about interesting publishing topics with very thorough analysis
- Confessions of a Published Author: Arran Bhansal on being a published author, and writing in general; occasional business tips
- Digital Publishing 2015: an online hub of graduate course in digital publishing, posts written by publishing students from Bath Spa University
- Let’s Get Digital: all about publishing business
- Let’s Read! from “chasingtheturtle”: creative illustrations about reading, a quite refreshing blog section on WordPress
- Myth Creates: another published writer sharing views on writing and self-editing
- News on Publishing and Marketing: Simona David, a book marketing professional, sharing her views on recent publishing events
- Penguin Blog’s News: company blog run by Penguin Random House
- Piles of Pages: Amy, a Creative Writing Graduate from England, sharing what she has learned about writing and the publishing industry
- Publishing/Writing: Insights, News, Intrigue: as the name indicates
- Today’s Author: a writer-supportive website full of writing prompts and writer’s circle; viewpoints contributed by many writers
- The Stroppy Editor: Tom Freeman on editing from a practitioner’s perspective

Announcement: Publishing Insights will not be updated in April as I am currently preparing to graduate and my schedules look quite daunting. Thank you very much for your understanding in advance, and I look forward to resuming our discussion here in May.
