Lerner answers writers' questions with candor ("Good question but kind of boring," she starts her answer to a question about whether book editors no longer edit), confesses to missing an annoying fellow commuter ("If you're wondering why I don't find another seat, you have not yet truly appreciated the magic that is me. I would sooner put my Papermate Sharpwriter #2 through my right eye than move."), and reflects on the, uh, glamorous life of an agent and author ("I have received an inordinate amount of fan mail over the years from the inmates of America. The most memorable was from an inmate who said that his three favorite books of all time were: The Bible, A Clockwork Orange, and The Forest for the Trees.").

In addition to Lerner's blog and Erika's blog, here are a few other writing/publishing/book blogs I regularly read:

Contributing editor Melissa Hart's Butt to Chair

• Lisa Shearin's blog

• Literary Rejections on Display

• Paper Cuts, a blog about books from The New York Times

• The Rejecter

What are some of your favorite writing-related blogs?
