A short while ago, I announced the winners of our 3rd annual Top 10 Blogs for Writers. I recently asked each of these stellar bloggers to pick their best posts on the topic of writing from 2008.

What follows is pure gold.

This is the best, direct FROM the best.

    Thanks very much for this, Michael - feels weird (and really good) to be sandwiched between such great writers.

    Ah, and Brian picked my fav post. Rock on.

    Thanks very much for organising the ‘best of’. Like you say, much to learn from the headlines, styles and approaches.

    Really good point on the connection between the title and the content. The titles actually speak for themsevles, but then the posts behind them pack a punch.
