Favourite Writer Blogs - GetPaidToWriteOnline

I've decided to start a series of my favourite freelance writer blogs. I don't have a set criteria for choosing which blogs to feature other than the fact that these blogs provide value to me as a writer.

My first feature has got to be Sharon Hurley Hall's Get Paid To Write Online blog.

I met Sharon in 2006 on a blogging community called WritingUp (it's no longer around but was a great place for a wannabe writer like me to absorb vast amounts of information and make some online friends that I'm still friendly with today). I chatted with Sharon and other writers weekly on a Thursday night writer's chat for several months and shortly after she helped me get some big clients through mentoring me, she even took me onto her writing team for a while until I started to mentor a writing team of my own. I was very lucky to have her help getting started as a writer. I had drive and ambition and she was very willing to share information with me. She didn't even seem to get annoyed at the fact that I followed her around like a baby duck for the first six months of my freelance writing career.

Here are some of the most helpful posts for writers on her site:
