Evaluation of ReadySteadyBlog

ReadySteadyBlog is a literary site that seeks to foster independent book reviews of British and American literary fiction, poetry, history and philosophy. Its Technorati rank is 42,988, and with daily posts, it has 161 links from 97 blogs.

Fifty-two writers, across disciplines, are contributors to ReadySteadyBook, and its link, ReadySteadyBlog. Both sites are managed by founder Mark Thwaite, a librarian by profession. He has been working on the Internet for about ten years.

The weblog is one of the Guardian Unlimited Books’ top 10 literary blogs. Publisher and writer Dennis Loy Johnson said it is: “one of Great Britain’s truly great blogs.” Writer Anthony Rudolf called RSB: “a significant contribution to serious writing about serious writing.”

The site complements Poe’s Unconscious blog’s purpose--to bring a convergence of writers with similar chords to dialogue about literature.

This site has a rich variety of commentary on various themes of literary texts from classics to contemporary. It also solicits any literary-related news or press releases.

Examples of the wealth of literary information are: latest book reviews, articles, and commentaries; interviews; books of the week and month; extensive blogroll; substantial savings on literary subscriptions; and rss feeds.

For a knowledgeable update on what’s selling in the publishing world and for commentary on a wide-spectrum of literature, ReadySteadyBlog offers that and more.
