4/06 UPDATE: Now showing which blogs do (
- click for feed) and do not (
) have a corresponding newsfeed.1/07 UPDATE: This list is still being maintained. Updates are listed in the SF Tidbit posts.
3/07 UPDATE: Added group author blogs.
4/07 UPDATE: S. Andrew Swann has created a Yahoo Pipe for all of these author feeds.
6/07 UPDATE: Since this list was mentioned on BoingBoing, we've been getting lots of email. Cool! If you have any additions to list, please email john at sfsignal dot com but please...as you can imagine with the proliferation of the Internets, this list is growing fast. We will only be adding authors published by major publishers. Sorry, but the list is hard enough to maintain without considering all the unpublished and self-published authors, too. (Of course, nobody is stopping you from doing your own shout-out in the comments below.)
***** If you know of any professionally published sf/f authors or group blogs who are not on this list, let us know. *****

Say, I have a weblog, and I'm a SF writer! I got me my shiny SFWA card to prove it! And I have a weblog! Aha!
Of course, all I talk about is ancient Roman economics, especially the effect of wage and price controls by Diocletian, so I am not sure it counts if you are only listing THE GOOD weblogs by SF writers:

Added John C. Wright's blog.

I added a link to Rudy Rucker's blog.
For those who haven't figured out, I am (slowly) collating a list of blogs written by popular science fiction and fantasy writers. My eventual hope is that I?ll make this a new permanent page off our main page; in the Links section perhaps.
Posted by John on Thursday October 13, 2005 at 10:24 PM
I don't need daily updates from these guys (or the bizarre hour-by-hour account of his life that Kevin Smith gives on his forums) but a regular spot for thse folks to comment on SF would be nice.
I wouldn't mind seeing Dan Simmons and Larry Niven.

Don't forget Chaos Manor ( http://www.jerrypournelle.com/ ), Jerry Pournelle's blog. It's considered to be the original blog by many.

I wish you folks would put this on the front page, so I don't have t keep hunting it down.
I'm shocked that you don't have John Ringo's blog in the list.
Infrequent postings, but amusing. He also does essays, editorials, etc.:

Posted by Fred Kiesche on Wednesday July 26, 2006 at 2:30 PM
Hmmm...too bad web browsers don't have some mechanism to remember website...some way to, say, bookmark them for later use. That would be cool!
Seriously, good point - it should be more noticeable.
In the meantime, I've added the Ringo link. Too bad there's no RSS feed, too.
Posted by John on Wednesday July 26, 2006 at 3:02 PM
Sure I could bookmark it. But then I'd miss all the fresh news on the front page by skipping the front page!

Posted by John on Wednesday September 20, 2006 at 11:22 PM
Have you thought about setting up a Planet to aggregate these?
Just an idea.
Posted by Tap on Friday November 24, 2006 at 10:34 AM
I'm not familiar with planet. Is it any different than any other RSS feed? We have feeds for new posts and comments (see front page), but not for individual posts.
Posted by John on Friday November 24, 2006 at 2:51 PM
It's a sort of public feed aggregator. If you look at some of the existing ones like Planet Debian or Planet KDE (it seems to be used mostly by free software projects) you should get the idea pretty quickly.
I thought it might be neat to have all the authors listed aggregated like that but possibly everyone reading this already uses a feed reader like Bloglines and it's also possible that the authors could object to having their content syndicated in such a fashion. It may have been a bad idea.
Posted by Tap on Sunday November 26, 2006 at 9:22 PM
Oh, I see. It aggregates the individual author feeds. My first impression was that it would serve up this specific "SF/F Writers Who Blog" post so that others might keep track of updates.
An interesting idea. Thanks, Tap! I'm not sure how authors would react to such syndications. On the one hand, they syndicate so that people can read it. On the other hand, sometimes author blogs can get political and that might upset other authors with opposite views whose posts appear nearby.
Oh well, the info is above in case anyone cares to try.

I went and did something evil.
I went to yahoo pipes and made a pipe that funnels all these author blog feeds into one stream.
Because the input is actually scraping this page for the urls, as long as the format doesn't change, the pipe should stay up-to-date with this page.
Ain't the net great?

Posted by Rodney on Friday December 26, 2008 at 11:03 PM
This is a great list! But I'm wondering what constitutes a professional writer...do they have to be from a big publisher, or can it be a small publiserh. My first novel, "When the Sky Fell" is coming out this year from Silver Leaf Books. And yes, I have a blog!
-Brandon
Posted by Brandon Barr on Friday January 02, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Wow...them's a lot of writer blogs. Question. Do writers use their blog as a source of motivation, stress relief, or to ease the sense of solitary confinement? I may peruse a few of these and get a feel of how a blog can enhance a writer's writing.
Posted by Mamashares on Wednesday January 21, 2009 at 10:02 AM
This is a great list. I've been trying to search for just this sort of thing and was having a hard time, coming across sites more accidentally than on purpose. I'm hoping the list is still being kept up since i see most of the posts above are from 2007 or earlier.
From someone who has already been perusing, to Mamashares: it seems to me writers blog for many reasons including: making their published books better known, a means of connecting with other writers (many of us introverts who spend lots of time at the keyboard and who don't live near lots of other writers), to practice writing and get feedback (especially those of us who are still trying to get published and can't seem to find the right route to publication), to satisfy the curiosity of avid fans and get a feel (through their comments and specific responses to specific questions) for where the interest is (really, physically where: book signings and speaker events work best where there is a known fan base already in place). As someone who has recently started blogging, I find its greatest value for me is that it demands a certain degree of consistancy in active participation as both reader and writer that having a static web site (or having neither) doesn't provide. That can only help.
My blog, with notes on writing, a serial of scenes from one of my fantasy novels I'm trying to revise, essays on food and cooking, and miscelaneous other bits: http:/home.earthlink.net/~wyverns/
