A little over a month ago we shared the great news that Fuel Your Writing had been nominated to be one of the “Top 10 Writing Blogs” through Michael Stelzner’s Writing White Papers blog. His monthly newsletter WhitePaperSource Newsletter has over 20,000 readers. Needless to say, we at Fuel Your Writing were ecstatic just to be nominated!
Well, the top 27 finalists were announced last week and we were shocked and flattered that we had made that round of cuts- out of almost 300 nominations! Yesterday the winners were announced…AND WE MADE THE LIST AT #10! While this is flattering and exciting in and of itself, to be *only* 3 1/2 months old and on the list with some of the most popular and highly-read writing blogs on the web is absolutely amazing.
The bottom line is that we wouldn’t be here-and winning contests-without our community of contributors and supporters. Right from the beginning on June 8th, we’ve had a dedicated and super-talented team of writers providing content that keeps the readers coming back. A huge THANK YOU to these contributors, especially our regulars who are featured on our About page. You should congratulate yourselves on a job well done! And of course, a big thank you to those of you who nominated us and those who support us through visits, links, RTs and recommendations!
Best,
Michelle Krasniak Oxman
