Top 8 of '08, with Guest Blogger Deborah Hodge

And the Top 8 of '08 -fest continues, today with Debbie Hodge's entry. Though she is a many-times published (and hugely beloved author) this has still been a big year for Debbie -- she has a new book coming out in her 'Who Lives Here?' series, (FOREST ANIMALS, due out in February from KidsCan Press), she started her own blog AND has a couple of gorgeous grand-babies to celebrate.

Debbie has decided to highlight her top favourite blogs of 2008. Let's have a peek:

As a relatively new (and keen!) blogger, I thought I'd post my list of 8 Great Blogs that I've enjoyed over the past year. In no particular order, they are:

1. Alice's CWIM Blog

http://cwim.blogspot.com/

Alice Pope is the editor of the wonderfully informative Children's Writers and Illustrators Market, published annually.

2. Children's Book Biz News

http://asuen.wordpress.com/

Anastasia Suen is the talented author of 110 books, and the writer of a series of blogs. This one gives you up-to-date info on US editors, agents and books.

3. Miss Snark, the Literary Agent

http://misssnark.blogspot.com/

Although this blog has gone "dark", you can read the archives which are full of funny and interesting anecdotes about submissions to a "snarky" literary agent and her amusing replies.

Want to find out more? Well, then -- read on....

I love Deborah's choices, and am always adding new blogs to my Reader. Thanks for joining in, Debbie!
