SF/F Writers Who Blog
I ran across this Writers Who Blog article and thought it might be useful to list some science fiction and fantasy authors who have blogs.
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 Sorry, but the list is hard enough to maintain without considering all the unpublished and self-published authors, too.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. *****

L. E. Modesitt, Jr.
SF authors Bradley Denton, Steven Gould, Rory Harper, Maureen McHugh, Madeleine Robins, and Caroline Spector have a group blog called Eat Our Brains. A couple of them have their own individual blogs as well.
Robert Anton Wilson is sorta, well, dead, so you might wanna take his blog off the list. He shan’t be using it, I am horrified to say.
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?
Cool! Thanks, Andrew.
If I change the format (which I do not expect to do), I’ll drop you an eeeeevil email.
This is an amazing service. Great work!
You’ve got a link for L.E. Modesitt Jr.’s blog, but not his feed.
That feed can be found at: http://www.lemodesittjr.com/blogs/blog/atom.xml
Alan Dean Foster blogs irregularly at his site: http://www.alandeanfoster.com/ I can’t find a feed for him, though.
Also, Phil Foglio blogs irregularly at: http://philfoglio.livejournal.com/, with feed at: http://philfoglio.livejournal.com/data/atom
Dave Freer http://davefreer.livejournal.com/

C.E. (Cate) Murphy http://mizkit.livejournal.com/
Here’s another one http://www.wyrdsmiths.blogspot.com which is a blog on writing and has published F&SF novelists Eleanor Arnason, Naomi Kritzer, Kelly McCullough, and Lyda Morehouse/Tate Hallaway plus the up and coming William Henry, Douglas Hulick, H. Courreges LeBlanc, Sean M. Murphy, and Rosalind Nelson.
Added. Thanks!
Here’s an author to add to your list of individual authors who blog: Nina Munteanu, SF author of “Darwin’s Paradox” (available at amazon.com November 1, 2007). Her blog is The Alien Next Door at http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com
Not sure if most of these are professional blogs or personal, but Lynn Flewelling is at otterdance.livejournal.com (personal) and Ellen Kushner is at ellen_kushner.livejournal.com (professional).
Check out the link above. We have a free, large, directory of blogs, organized by topic, and many of them curated by experts in their field.
For example,
here is Josh Kid on Puzzles: http://www.blogbridge.com/expert?fullName=Josh+Kidd
here is Al Tepper on Green Planet:
http://www.blogbridge.com/expert?fullName=Al+Tepper
Here’s a list of many of them: http://www.blogbridge.com/expert-guides/meet-the-experts/
I am wondering if you’d like to be an expert on Science Fiction Blogs. It would be a wonderful addition. It’s very easy, and we’d help you get it done quickly. What say you? Please email me. It’s really easy and fun!

you can subscribe to all of them at once with

SF/F author blogs
Massive list of blogs (including indicators of which do/don’t have RSS feeds) by science fiction and fantasy authors. Cool. Though, that said — I often find myself disappointed by author…
C. E. Dorsett
http://www.projectshadow.com
Author of Liquid Sky, Deus ex Machina, and Fate’s Harrow
Glenda Larke
Author of The Isles of Glory trilogy and The Mirage Makers Trilogy.
Fantasy authors write stunning blogs (BlogTipping Day)
Going out to find the blogs of my favourite fantasy authors was like reading a great fantasy novel, it was happy and tragic and hopeful and far more emotional than I expected.
Patricia Kennealy-Morrison
http://www.pkmorrison.livejournal.com
http://www.myspace.com/hermajestythelizardqueen
Author of The Keltiad series and “Strange Days: My Life With and Without Jim Morrison.”
I would be most glad to see Nicola Griffith added to your list of Individual Author Blogs links:

Todd McCaffrey has a blog at his site as well:

Just a nitpick, but it’s “Laura Anne Gilman,” not Laura Ann. (correcting the Internet, one letter at a time)
Thanks!
Fixed. Thanks, Laura.
Thanx for the links. It will help a lot. I have something similar on my blog in the form of Resources page but I put there everything that has to do with science fiction so… http://www.scifirama.com/index.php/resources/

I like this new guy — Sean O’Brien at http://www.spacetimestories.com. He is writing a Sci Fi novel and posting cool short stories to his blog. You may want to add his blog to the list (very cool list, BTW).
Thanks!
Mark

Many thanks for the list of writers. I hope you will list my Web site and blog among them. I welcome comments, suggestions, links, etc.
