Ini Dia: 101 Website Penulisan Terbaik 2008


Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, di tahun 2008 ini WritersDigest.com kembali memberikan anugerah Writer’s Digest Best Websites of 2008, atau website terbaik di bidang penulisan.

Sekadar info, jumlah situs penulisan di luar negeri sangat banyak. Bila kita mencari di google dengan kata kunci “writer“, hasil pencarian mencapai jumlah 229 juta lebih. Sayangnya, maraknya situs penulisan di luar negeri ini tidak diimbangi dengan kondisi yang sama di Indonesia. Di sini, jumlah situs penulisan boleh dikatakan masih bisa dihitung dengan jari.

Karena itulah, untuk memperluas cakrawala kita di bidang penulisan, tak ada salahnya bila kita sering-sering melirik situs-situs penulisan luar negeri. Salah satu alternatifnya adalah website-website pilihan WritersDigest.com berikut ini.
