SF/F Writers Who Blog

Posted on May 13, 2005 by John DeNardo in Books, Web Sites // 120 Comments

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 to see feed – click for feed) and do not (No feed available) 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 Sorry, but the list is hard enough to maintain without considering all the unpublished and self-published authors, too.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. *****

  1. John // May 25, 2005 at 2:20 pm //

    I updated the list with links to blogs by Ian McDonald and Justine Larbalestier.

  2. John // October 12, 2005 at 7:51 am //

    I added links for Jeffrey Ford, Ken MacLeod, John Meany, Chris Roberson and Martin Sketchley.

  3. John C. Wright // October 12, 2005 at 4:48 pm //

    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:
    http://john-c-wright.blogspot.com/

  4. John // October 12, 2005 at 5:19 pm //

    Well, you need to beat me over the head. Although people tell me it’s bound to do some good. 🙂
    Added John C. Wright’s blog.

  5. John // October 13, 2005 at 10:24 pm //

    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.

  6. Scott // October 18, 2005 at 9:48 am //

    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.

  7. Paul // October 18, 2005 at 12:40 pm //

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

    Added. Thanks!

    Just thought I’d bring back some happy memories for John, and fill in those readers who hadn’t seen this yet. You can thank me later…

    Oops. The URL for my blog got changed. Please update

    this one is no good any more. Instead I am at:

    I also maintain a livejournal at:

    Don’t read these if you are planning to buy my books, because then you will find out what a horrible and cynical emotionless Vulcan I am, and vow never to read me again.

  26. Fred Kiesche // July 6, 2006 at 7:11 pm //

    Good Lord, man. You type enough on two blogs for eight people!
    :-$
    Some interesting stuff there. I especially liked the “Stranger” posting.

  27. John // July 6, 2006 at 10:35 pm //

    Thanks, John. I have updated the blog and feed links.

  28. Fred Kiesche // July 13, 2006 at 5:28 pm //

    John Picacio has a blog. I don’t know who he is, but Locus mentions it:

  30. John // July 26, 2006 at 9:16 am //

    Added. Thanks, Michael!

  31. Fred Kiesche // July 26, 2006 at 2:30 pm //

    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.
    http://johnringo.com/Abyss/
    Infrequent postings, but amusing. He also does essays, editorials, etc.:
    http://johnringo.com/Opeds/
    http://johnringo.com/Unpublished/
    😀

  32. John // July 26, 2006 at 3:02 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.

  33. Fred Kiesche // July 26, 2006 at 3:11 pm //

    Sure I could bookmark it. But then I’d miss all the fresh news on the front page by skipping the front page!
    😀

  34. Fred Kiesche // July 26, 2006 at 9:08 pm //

    I’m beginning to think in a year or so, you’ll be retitling this piece “writers who don’t blog”!
    Anyway…

    The RSS link listed for Greg Bear is broken, as is the RSS link on the blog itself.

  39. John // August 24, 2006 at 7:19 am //

    Fixed…with the possible exception of Bear’s RSS Feed. The site has the updated feed link, but it is currently not working.

  42. John // September 20, 2006 at 11:22 pm //

    Thanks for the update. I’ve updated the post.

  43. Tap // November 24, 2006 at 10:34 am //

    Have you thought about setting up a Planet to aggregate these?
    Just an idea.

  44. John // November 24, 2006 at 2:51 pm //

    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.

  45. Tap // November 26, 2006 at 9:22 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.

  46. John // November 26, 2006 at 9:53 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. 🙂

  50. Fred Kiesche // January 24, 2007 at 5:57 am //

    Shannon, don’t be worried. It’s a good way of learning new names. Heck, half the time I run across somebody new in one of the annual anthologies by Harman/Kramer or Dozois I end up spending money on a new book or three!

    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.

  61. Chris Bradley // March 7, 2007 at 11:56 pm //

    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.

  62. S Andrew Swann // April 11, 2007 at 11:19 am //

    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?

  63. John // April 11, 2007 at 12:32 pm //

    Cool! Thanks, Andrew.
    If I change the format (which I do not expect to do), I’ll drop you an eeeeevil email. 🙂

    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:

    Ryan Gale,

    Getting started is easy. Just sign up for an account on blogger.com or wordpress.org and start typing. If you want to host your own blog and maintain full control, you can get a webhost and install WordPress as I have done at http://www.brianrathbone.com

     

    Best of luck.

    This is a great list and it is good to see all of these authors in one place. I have just started up an on-line book store at http://www.GreyDoorBooks.com, dedicated to sci-fi and fantasy and this will make a great link for users of the site to get quick access to the blogs of their favourite authors.

    Thanks!

    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!

    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.

    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/

    BETRAYED! Zine is a zine that destroys all of these blogs by sending them to the deep ocean where they will be eaten by unknown lifeforms. It is not professionally published – that’s a stupid rule. GOOD BYE.

    Useful and informative, many thanks.

    I write science fiction too, and have a time travel novella published and a novel called “Don’t Mess with Earth” published this year. I write about some of the subjects in my novel and novella, and sometimes even write my thoughts about some current sci-fi or comic book movies.

    I’m sorry about the above unintentional triplicity. Would please delete my two previous posts? And maybe also this? Thank you.

    I’m going to update this.

    My two science fiction novels are Out of Time and Don’t Mess With Earth and check out my Blog for information on where those two plus my other novel, The Usurper, which isn’t science fiction can be found.
