Do Authors Need to Blog?
Our online magazine and weblog, The Internet Writing Journal,
has a new feature called The Author's Dilemma: To Blog or Not to Blog by Claire E. White, the Editor of the IWJ, about whether or not an author needs a weblog.
The business of being an author has changed considerably over
the last ten years. No longer is it sufficient to write a
brilliant manuscript and manage to get it published. Authors
now need to be excellent promoters of their own work. And for
the intrinsically shy, that can be problematic. But an Internet
trend has the potential to revolutionize author marketing, even
for those who despise public speaking: blogging.
The article lists the different types of author blogs and the pros and cons of author blogging. The Internet Writing Journal editors have also created
a list of the
Best Author Blogs.
