BritLitBlogs is the brainchild of six British literary bloggers. Each working
hard at bringing readers to forgotten or overlooked books, our BritLitBloggers
decided that combining their latest blog entries together in one place would
highlight the breadth and depth of British literary blogging.
Blogging about
books has not been happening for very long, but already, in the US, the
blogosphere has caught the attention of publishers and, more importantly,
writers and readers.
Free to talk about their own unique literary passions,
British literary bloggers have enthused over all sorts of books and many
different authors. They have written about poetry and poets, theory and form,
biography and prose. And they have done so, each in their own style, in blogs as
varied as they are.
The UK media, and UK publishers, seem not to have
noticed this quiet, bookish revolution. Perhaps BritLitBlogs will help them take
note? More importantly, we hope it will allow other bibliophiles to find
signposts to many new literary paths.
As a sometime contibutor to Readysteadybook, I have a vested interest in this. Mark tells me that RSB is currently undergoing a redesign, and will soon look even more beautiful. I really must pull my finger out, and submit him some more stuff. I hope to keep a finger in the pie of the mighty RSB empire.
