The core of AdviceToWriters is the well-chosen daily quote on the writing trade by everyone from Judd Apatow to Heraclitus to Philip Larkin. This aggregator site also offers links to canonical essays on writing, good blogs, lit magazines, and interviews with great writers. The high-quality content and sound advice are no surprise since the man behind the curtain is vet quotemeister Jon Winokur, best known as the compiler of The Portable Curmudgeon, The Big Book of Irony, and 18 other bathroom-shelf classics. Web guru Guy Kawasaki calls Winokur, with only a bit of hyperbole, “a one-man Wikipedia of wisdom and sarcasm.”
