Google Alerts alerted me this morning that Michael Stelzner recently announced the finalists for his 3rd annual Top 10 Blogs for Writers. It's a pretty impressive list this year, and I think Michael is going to have his work cut out for himself evaluating over a dozen writing blogs. The criteria for the winners includes quality of posts, frequency of posts, reader involvement, and Technorati rating (in other words, how many other blogs link to you).
I was happy to see The Urban Muse listed among the finalists again this year but even happier to see some old favorites getting recognition and find some new blogs ripe for discovery. Check out all of the blogs that made the first cut.
