I believe that we tend to become what we feed on. Since I'm always looking to improve my writing skills, I'm in the search of online magazines and blogs which are very well written. I want to read content from some of the best writers out there. What online publications would you suggest that have really great material? Thanks.

    What do you mean by well written... prose an English teacher would be proud of... or sales copy that converts?

      What I'm really looking for is something more akin to feature style writing and editorial material vs. sales oriented copy. However, I know how motivating it can be to read a great ad too.

      I suppose there's one English teacher somewhere who would be proud of conversational writing.

        Dialog doesn't sell either.

      I second Ken's comment. Good writing holds attention, be it sales copy, political speech, novel, essay or poem. Good writing also persuades the reader to accept the writer's point of view...or to at least consider it. The only thing good sales copy has that other genres typically don't is a call to action.

      Arts & Letters Daily is a great portal. Plus the headlines prove it's possible to be an erudite tease.
