• Foreword by bestselling author Chuck Wendig!
• You want to learn the necessary tools and best practices for promoting your writing through social media
• You're unsure how to STRATEGICALLY implement social media to build your author platform
• You want to strengthen your author platform

In this book, authors and founders of the One-Stop Writer Shop, Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine, take authors of all experience levels deeper into popular applications of social networking, and introduce new tools that connect not just with other applications but with a community that carries influence and impact. Focusing on best practices and online etiquette, Tee and Pip help authors already set up on social networks but still unsure what to do next, as well as authors looking to start social media initiatives and build a community. This specialized book will also take writers beyond the "fun" aspect of social networking, citing practical and innovative applications, working with editorial calendars, and maximizing online efficiency and time management, setting the foundation for stronger, better online communities centered around authors' works.
