A writer’s week on twitter - writing advice and tips

Twitter has a wealth of advice and tips for writers if you know where to look.  A good place to start is #writing where you should soon find Jon Winokur’s @AdviceToWriters with links to great writing quotes, articles and practical information from a wide range of sources at  http://www.advicetowriters.com/  

I usually check out Jon’s tweets (he has over 56,000 followers) as you never know what you’ll find, such as: 40 Twitter Hashtags for Writers

Daily Writing Tips

@writing_tips  is a good source of tips on grammar, spelling, punctuation and all aspects of  freelance writing on  http://www.dailywritingtips.com   Founded by writer Daniel Scocco (@danielscocco ), a small team of experienced writers and editors work hard to maintain standards on all aspects of writing, from book reviews to business copy writing.  As well as grammar and punctuation, a favourite of mine is the ‘word of the day'  which is always worth a look.
