Tweets-Acular for Writers & Authors: Books, Publishing and Marketing
Posted by Teresa | Under Resources for Writers and Authors, Tweets-Acular for Writers and Authors Friday Mar 12, 2010Before I begin the Tweets-acular, here is a tidbit I would like to share–
I just don’t know how to get started?
Writers—have you ever said this to yourself or someone else? Well, here are a few tips to help you get started writing.
~Keep a folder of articles, quotes or stories of subjects you feel passionate about
~Develop a “mock” up book with “chapters” and then place your thoughts and ideas you write down within the related “chapter
~Create a vision board about what you see for your book
Remember, taking the first step maybe known as the hardest but it also feels the proudest.

jolindsell’s tweet is useful, for sure. But authors, don’t neglect to solicit book reviews in the numerous magazines and newsletters that relate to your book’s topic/genre.
