This is a post I am so excited to write! I seriously love giving shout outs and highlighting the hard work that other bloggers are doing. So, as I mentioned before, when I saw the Supporting Book Bloggers Challenge (hosted by Pages Unbound), I knew I had to participate, doing one prompt a month. For this month, I’m doing 10 blogger shouts outs, highlighting fellow creators who are creating wonderful content, are amazing people and who I hope you’ll follow, if you’re not already!
So, let’s get started!
Blogger Shout Outs
Kal @ Reader Voracious
Oh wow, I’m such a fangirl of Kal and her blog, friends. Not only is the blog itself so aesthetically so pleasing, but Kal writes fantastic discussions, shares great lists and reviews, and provides so many resources to the community that have been so helpful for me personally as a blogger. I just really admire Kal’s selflessness.

Shealea @ Shut Up, Shealea
So, I am trash for Shealea’s blog (all of her content, really). I was SO excited when she recently returned to blogging. Her knowledge is immaculate, she gives so much of her time and expertise to the community and I am just always awed by what she’s accomplished. I want to be her when I grow up. 🥺

Kate @ Your Tita, Kate
I ADORE Kate’s blog. She’s a blogger, a writer and a reader, and she covers content in all three areas and I can’t get enough with it all. I love her discussions and cheering on her writing journey is wonderful. Diverse book recommendations, look no further (actually, this could be said for every single blogger on this list!).

Marie and Nyx @ Drizzle and Hurricane Books
I am so in love with this blog and the creators who consistently post on it. Marie is a kindred soul and good friend I am so grateful that blogging connected me to. Her sister, Nyx, writes occasional guest posts that are pretty incredible. From book reviews to discussion posts to blogging advice, this blog should be a staple in your blog hopping, honestly.

Hasini @ Bibliosini
Hasini’s blog is one that I discovered through blog hopping only recently, but it quickly became one of my favorites! I love her discussion posts, in particular, but I’m also a huge fan of her wrap-up posts, where she regularly highlights and supports other creators.
Connect with Hasini in the following ways:
Sumedha @ The Wordy Habitat
I am always so impressed with Sumedha’s blog! Not only does she write incredible content, but she also does all of the artwork for her blog!? The amount of work that has to go into that is legendary, yet the quality is never sacrificed. From great discussions to wonderful resources, Sumedha is a creator you should be following and supporting!

Fadwa @ Word Wonders
Fadwa is another veteran blogger who not only creates amazing content, but she gives so much to the community, as well. From managing the Content Warnings databases to regularly hosting her “Color the Shelves” interview series, if you aren’t already following and supporting Fadwa, what are you doing with your life?
Connect with Fadwa in the following ways:
Rukky @ Eternity Books
So, I am absolutely in love with Rukky’s blog. She is one of the host of Let’s Talk Bookish (alongside Dani @ The Literary Lion), a bookish discussion challenge that has been so wonderful to take part of! Naturally, I love her discussion posts, but I also appreciate the honestly and vulnerability she offers. It’s one of my favorite blogs to read!

CW, Joce and Skye @ The Quiet Pond
If you’ve been blogging for almost any amount of time, I bet you’ve heard of the amazing work that the crew at the Quiet Pond do on a consistent basis. From the amazing diverse books, creators and authors they help support, to their themed blogging months to an entire, year-long reading challenge with custom artwork, this blog is on an entirely different level. If you’re not following and supporting already, go check them out!

Corey @ Grimdark Dad
Corey is such an underrated gem within the book blogging community!!! His reviews are fantastic (seriously, I’ve laughed reading his reviews more than anyone else’s, I think), his bookish tastes are excellent, his reading output makes me feel jealous and he is genuinely just so fucking kind? Every interaction with Corey I’ve had has been so positive and uplifting. (I’m also in love with his dogs.)

In Sum
So, this list was (not surprisingly) so hard to narrow down to just 10 bloggers. There are SO many bloggers out there doing such incredible work and I love you all. I hope this small but mighty blogger shout out helped you find someone new to support. Or perhaps even inspired you to give some shout outs of your own?
To everyone I did list above: thanks for making my time on the internet and socials a little less hellish. I value what you do a lot and appreciate you, always! ❤

![Hello, writers, wordsmiths and storytellers!
Thanks for the BooksforMaui fundraiser, I was able to work with three winners after I donated my most popular querying package: the 1st Impressions Package.
It was so wonderful to work with those writers that I want to work with more who want to prepare for the querying trenches. So much so, I'm offering 50% off for anyone who books during the month of October! 🎃
Full details below.
THE PACKAGE:
This is a combo package for writers who are preparing to query, but want to make sure their querying materials are going to make the right first impression to agents.
You get an single edit of your query letter, synopsis AND your 1st 50 pages, along with notes and an email summary.
COST:
Traditionally $200, this sale for $100 is good from October 1st - October 31st! Payment plans are available by request and always welcome.
TIMELINE:
Please note you just need to book in October to secure this pricing. If you need more time to prepare your materials, we can actually plan to work on your materials anytime in the next year ($50 will be required to secure booking).
Right now, I am doing 1-2 week turnaround time for this package.
Interested? Please reach out on my website (linked in bio) and let's get you ready for the trenches!

Absolutely love this blogger list. I follow and love almost all the blogs here. It’s an honour to be among this list, thank you for featuring me!
You definitely deserved to be there, I admire the work you put in and your blog so much!
AH you’re going to make me all emotional now 🥺😭🥺😭 Thank you so, so much for mentioning me alongside these INCREDIBLE bloggers, I appreciate it SO much 🥺😭 This is such a fantastic list, I have a couple here I’m not too familiar with, I’ll have to check them out!
OF COURSE. There was no doubt in my mind you’d be on this list! ♥ I hope you found some awesome new bloggers to follow!
The way I blinked when I got to “I want to be her when I grow up. 🥺” AM I OLD???
But jokes aside, thank you for mentioning me! I really appreciate the shoutout. Honestly, I was a little worried that I’d be returning to a nonexistent audience since I’d been gone for so long. But the community’s been very supportive, and I could not be more grateful.
Also, you are amazing and incredible, and your endless support means so much to me.
Hahahahaha, since I’m 95% sure you’re younger than me, this response is even more hilarious. 😅
I am so glad that the community has still supported you, even as you come back after a long break. You absolutely deserve it. 🖤🖤
This is the sweetest thing, Nicole. Thank you so much for thinking of me, I really appreciate the shoutout! 💙💙💙
Always, Corey!! 🖤
*right click, open new tab, repeat* Bibliosini, The Wordy Habitat, and Eternity Books are all new to me – will check them out 🙂
Yay yay yay!!! I really hope you love their blogs, they are all pretty incredible!
NOT ME WANDERING INTO THIS POST AND CRYING. Thank you so much for your kind words and shout out!
UM ABSOLUTELY. 🖤
