Abstract
“11 tips to write better”, “10 fast ways to become a better writer”, and “5 unconventional ways to become a better writer”. These are examples of what a Google search for “write better” gives you. Some read quite reasonably, some are rather awkward. Anyway, several similar pieces of advice drew my attention. The essence was as simple as: Read as much as you can to become a better writer. This brought me to the point where I thought that a collection of blogs created by writers for writers and intended to improve writing or related skills might be of interest to you.
