Whether you’re a newbie or an old pro, Twitter for Authors covers the topics needed to build a solid author platform on Twitter.

Written by a writer for writers, Marcy Kennedy gets to the meat of this fast-moving social networking site, offering how-tos for those just getting started (signing up for an account, setting up a page/bio, selecting notification settings, connecting to external applications like Hootsuite or TweetDeck), as well as tips once you’ve gotten the basics under your belt (adding columns, building lists, crafting click-worthy tweets, using hashtags and link shorteners).

For advanced users, Twitter for Authors offers a variety of platform-building strategies, such as incorporating Click to Tweet into blog posts, performing detailed follower analysis, finding/using images and running successful Twitter events.

Along the way, Kennedy shares her own experiences and recommendations, while offering tips for making efficient use of time spent networking on social media, e.g. if you’ve only got 10 minutes a day to spare, she offers examples to ensure every minute counts.

Twitter for Authors is a practical, no-nonsense guide designed to give busy writers the tools needed to build a sustainable platform on Twitter, allowing them to spend more time focusing on what they do best—writing. ( )
