The Cool Kids of WordPress

Iโ€™ve been collecting a list of WP bloggers with an insane amount of followers who focus primarily on writing. No doubt youโ€™ve come across most, if not all of these writerly scholars who meander about WordPress, affecting us with their Hollywood connections, best seller success, dreamy wordiness or their delicately composed poems that touch on the otherworldly.

The curiosity of cats dictates that we want to know all about them. Who are they? Whatโ€™s their catโ€™s name? Do they even have a cat? Why are they being so cryptic in their About page? And how on Earth did they get so many followers? There are a variety of reasons why they got to where they are, reasons which you will no doubt uncover if you visit their blogs. So far my list only includes bloggers Iโ€™ve stumbled across since 2015. Iโ€™m sure there are plenty more out there… just waiting to be found!

    Fascinating read, thanks! It’s always interesting/helpful to see what people write, how they conduct themselves online and how many followers they manage to attain by doing so! This is a challenge for me. Up until recently, I’ve been using twitter, but I find it can often be like a social cocktail party, i.e lots of noise and not a lot of interaction. It’s good for fast posts regarding new material, or thoughts, but not so much connecting and being a part of a community of link minded people. After reading your post, I want to make a change by being more interactive, and hopefully, I will learn a thing or two along the way!

    1. Sorry RJ, not sure why I didn’t see this message earlier!! (Like from waaaaay back in good old April ’17. I really want to try and be more interactive as well – focus on liking and commenting on articles that I am genuinely interested in etc… I know what you mean about twitter, it is so hard to engage and make friends over there! I think that’s why I love blogging on WordPress: it’s slower, more genuine, more engaging, more ‘community’ minded ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Hey Milly, you should think about contacting each of these bloggers and creating a follow-up curated post of their advice on how to build a following for a writerly blog. Just ask for like 2-3 sentences from each blogger. We all would eat that up!

        They love us as much as we love them (and maybe more)! We have an automated feeder and poop machine so the work is easier.

        1. Thank you for posting a linky. I recognize quite a few in that list. We grow mostly on WordPress by talking, not just about ourselves, but going out and talking on other peoples blogs. Just saying ‘Great Post’ and liking alone will get you nowhere, but reading what others say and leaving genuine comments accounts for 90% of my subscribers and regular commenters .Most of the people i recognize are prolific commenters, as am I. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Yes that would be great! I’d love to add a crime writer to the list. As I have a degree in Criminology (funnily enough) I always fancied myself to be a forensic scientist hahaha

      1. Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion! Iโ€™ve just spent the last hour making my way through Kristenโ€™s blog! She has so many amazing and instructive blog posts on writing that Iโ€™m surprised I havenโ€™t found her yet! Thank you! I love the last one she just posted: http://authorkristenlamb.com/2017/03/do-some-people-lack-the-talent-to-be-authors/ – this one has definitely inspired me to try harder. Iโ€™ve just added her to the list and Iโ€™m personally really happy to have a girl in the top 5 ๐Ÿ™‚
