It’s time to open up nominations for our 4th annual Top 10 Blogs for Writers contest—the blogosphere’s biggest contest for writing blogs.

Since we first began this contest four years ago, blogs for writers have really taken off. Many of last years winners have gone on to build very successful blogs.

How to Nominate Your Favorite Writing Blog:

1. Reply to this message with your nomination
2. You have only one vote (only your first will be counted)
3. Please include the web address of the blog
4. Explain why you think the blog is worthy of winning this year’s award?

To make the cut, a blog must be nominated more than once.

The winners will be announced here and also in our 25,000 reader newsletter.

Nominations must be received by September 11, 2009.
