  • I couldn't see why not - everyone can get some kind of great use with twitter! Books and authors are tweeted a lot, and great authors would definitely round up a nice following.
  • You bet. While I'm not always sure why or what to Tweet, I've realized, over time, that I'm able to develop a deeper relationship with both the people who I want to know as well as those who want to know me better.

  • Of course! Authors use twitter to spread their news or information to people!

    As a book marketer, I use Twitter every day to pass along marketing tips and industry news to the authors who work with me. It allows for quick updates and I can quickly pass along useful links.
  • Twitter is my favorite. It lets me connect all aspects of my business in one place.

    It does help us to relate person to person and I think lots of people are looking for that.

    I am glad to hear that. I was wondering if other authors used Twitter. I just finished my first novel. It's called Paradise Academy, and it's an American-written, Japanese-based novel. This is a relatively new genre, and I wanted to talk with real authors to get opinions.
  • Twitter accounts are becoming almost as effective as book signings at promoting an author's book. It creates a closeness to the author that readers would otherwise not experience.
  • I use twitter quite often, it is certainly the best
