Professional Writing and the Blogosphere

Professional writing and the blogosphere are inextricably linked it seems to me. A blog is somewhere that other writers can read what you have written and comment if they choose. It is also the place where writing work can be found if you 'virtually'meet the right people.

Most of the work that I undertake as a freelance writer has been work that I obtained through other people in the blogosphere. People like Sharon and Gracepub have helped me and numbers of other writers get started on freelance writing work. Considering there are probably close to as many freelance writers out there as there are freelance writing jobs

It often seems like a cut throat world out there, but writers in general are a very helpful and supportive group of people - especially when other things in life stop us writing.Whether that applies to everyone in the writing world or to the blogosphere in particular I don't know, but there are some good community blogging sites out there.

Writers such as those at inspired author who provide free resources and articles related to writing for other writers are all busy, working writers, who are prepared to give other writers a helping hand.
