Back... After a Long Absence

It has been a pretty long time since I updated this blog, but I hope to be posting again on a regular basis soon. I just completed a major translation project that took the better part of this year.

Thank you for continuing to visit despite my absence. I was humbled earlier this year when I found out that this blog had made it to the Writer's Digest list of the 101 Best Websites for Writers for the fourth year in a row.

If you believe the blog should remain on the list for next year, kindly send an e-mail with your nomination to writersdigest@fwmedia.com with “101 Websites” in the subject line between now and Dec. 1, 2011. As always, your support is genuinely appreciated.

Now that I am back, please leave a comment and let me know what you'd like to see more of on this blog in the coming months.

Writer's Digest Annual List of the 101 Best Websites for Writers for 2010

Earlier this week, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this blog (Resources for Muslim Writers) has been selected by Writer's Digest as one of the 101 Best Websites for Writers for the third consecutive year—no small feat when you consider that more than 3,500 writing blogs and websites were nominated for the honor in 2010. Thank you to those who nominated this blog and continue to visit. I have received many e-mails this year from people who say that this blog has helped them find their first writing gig or gain enough confidence to query magazines.

While I still have much to do in terms of improving this blog and making it a richer source of knowledge and information for my visitors, I am happy that the blog is at least fulfilling some of its goals. I hope you will continue to write to me with suggestions and feedback on how to make the blog more useful.
