One great way of discovering new blogs is to click through the blogroll of a blogger you like to read. It also turns out that this is a great way to find local blogs, too! Amye Archer is a NEPA-based writer whose blog we added a while back. I noticed that Amye had put up a new post recently and decided to check it out. While there two things caught my attention: a list of Agent Blogs (someone had just asked me to see if anyone in the blogosphere knew how to find an agent) and a list called Writers Who Blog. Noticing a few familiar names on that list, I decided to check it out in case there were more local writers there. And, whaddya know - I was able to conclusively determine that there were at least three NEPA Bloggers there that we don't have listed yet.
