A Directory of Blogs (and other resources) on Writing
This directory of blogs (and other resources) corresponds to those of us that teach and study writing across English; Composition; Rhetoric; Writing Studies. This particular directory started from an aggregation of two sources:
1. KairosNews [http://kairosnews.org/node/3719];
2. Traci Gardner’s excellent and recently updated list [http://www.tengrrl.com/blog/]
I was inspired to start aggregating and editing this directory because given those blogs that I follow currently, I am convinced that there is a great deal of valuable work and thinking happening across these publishing platforms. Please note that I am intentionally casting a wide net given the resource list below and therefore relying on a very loosely defined (non-technical) notion of “blog”.
I am also working on an a list of broader resources according to an organizational schema that will continue to evolve, but here are the current categories listed via the tables below:
I. Web/Blogs Listed by Name
II. Open Publication, Institutional, & Field Resources
III. Job Search Sites
IV. Historical Figures & Research in Composition/Rhetoric
V. Language Parsing (Open-Source Research Tools)
VI. Bibliographies
VII. Longitudinal Writing Research
This directory is, at present, being actively edited and revised (last: Thursday, May 23rd 2011). Please email me with suggestions or additions [koshnick@umail.ucsb.edu]. *And finally, I cannot be held responsible for the information linked from these web/blogs.

I’m impressed with this list. Thanks for making it available to researchers, scholars, and practitioners.
Hi Mary, Thanks! I hope it is useful. It has been fun to aggregate, compile, edit, etc. I am working yet with the overall organizational schema … Cheers!
