The 26" Annual 101 Best Websites for Writers

Creating this list is a yearlong project that involves an overwhelming number of bookmarked sites on our browsers. Th ere are so many great websites for writers—with more popping up practically daily—it’s no wonder this is still one of our most popular features aft er 25 years.

- AMY JONES, MORIAH RICHARD, AND MICHAEL WOODSON

This year, as always, you’ll find a blend of sites that are useful to writers of all types, abilities, experience levels, and genres. Some websites have been on this list for more than a few years now, because they consistently produce quality content that never disappoints, alongside other sites that are still fairly new but have already made a name for themselves. Additionally, we’re pleased to include 12 websites that appear on the list for the first time.

As with all of our recommendations, we do our best to ensure the details in the listings are accurate at the time the issue goes to the printer, but inevitably something will change. So, be sure to check the websites themselves for the most up-to-date information.

We hope this list helps you find the resources you need to improve your writing, find a community, and get your work out into the world.

A means this is the website's first appearance on the WD list. All listings within each category are alphabetically arranged.
