The White List M-Z The White List is a listing of writers, editors, and other publishing professionals that have LiveJournals or LJ RSS feeds. Not all are pro, but all have one thing in common: a love of writing.
LAST UPDATE: Septemberr 18, 2012
Very small update this time with a few additions, a couple updates, and a few removals.
If you see any errors on this list, please don't hesitate to let me know, but please include the user name(s) for what needs to be fixed. The list is just too long for me to look for a specific entry without the user name. Thanks.
You may submit names to The White List as comments to this post. Once I've added the information I'll delete the comment. I will also honor requests to be removed from the list.
PLEASE FORMAT YOUR COMMENT SUBMISSIONS AS FOLLOWS:
lj user name (in the appropriate arrow <> brackets) - author name (or feed source) brief blurb about the writer or purpose of the journal
PLEASE, follow the directions for posting new additions, including a single dash between the lj user name and the description. Find/Replace then Copy/Paste is so much easier and less time consuming for me than Find/Replace, locate fixes, then Copy/Paste. Thanks.
January 2009 will be the last time I add anyone who does not format their request to be added as asked. I don't mind keeping up the list, really! But I do mind having to spend time reformatting requests so they are the way I need them to be. I hate to be rude, and it may not seem like much, but the time does add up, and I do have other things to do. ;)
OTHER NOTES:
1. Please format EXACTLY as above to make copy and paste easier; that includes keeping the dash (and spaces around the dash) where placed since I use find/replace to format entries appropriately. The url to the journal or user info is not necessary if formatted as above.
2. Keep all information in the blurb in a single paragraph format -- do not use a line space to separate information on the same entry. Keep blurbs brief.
3. Submissions MUST have LJ accounts or RSS feeds. The White List is an LJ community. You may include a personal website url in the description if you wish, but only those with an LJ account will be listed.
4. PLEASE use your browser's search option to make sure your submission isn't already present.
5. If you're posting more than one entry, PLEASE separate them by a blank line and make sure each entry has all the information and is formatted as requested above.
Blurbs may be edited to keep them as brief as possible. More than one listing per author is allowed as long as additional listings relate to writing AND are kept current. However, if a writer has moved his/her blog/feed, only the most current should be listed.
And PLEASE DO write a blurb instead of making me hunt down information on the author or site being added--what the author writes, recent publications, a list of markets his or her work has appeared in, etc. It's always nice to give people something other than a name they may not have heard of before.
I've attempted to keep the listing alphabetical by user name. Please don't hesitate to comment on any corrections that need to be made, including fixes, updates/changes to entries, new entries, and removals of entries not related to the writing field or LJ's that haven't been updated in a year or more.
Thanks.
