Twitter 101 for Authors by Shelley Hitz

Hello to all you wonderful authors who’ve been my guest at Page Readers.  I hope you are all doing well and the wheels of your promotional campaign are moving along smoothly.

Many of you know that I am an active fan of twitter.  I say active fan, because I am active on twitter and a fan of all its uses.  As a promotion specialist, I use twitter to not only share my own information, like news of upcoming or recorded shows or new reviews posted to the Page Readers blog, but also to learn new things and meet new people.



I’ve met many of my guests on twitter, by using hash tags (#) to search topics or reading a re-tweeted post that caught my attention and led me to a new author.  Once you get into the habit of using twitter, it can be a very powerful tool.



Someone else I met on twitter is Shelley Hitz.  As a Self Publishing Coach, Shelly has many wonderful products available to help authors navigate the web in search of their own success.  


One tool she has produced is especially for authors who want to learn how to use twitter to successfully build their own audience.


Twitter 101 for Authors is a short, sweet and incredibly powerful tool created to help authors tap into the power of twitter without being overwhelmed, or worse, looking like a rookie tweeter.  Learn how to master the world of micro-blogging quickly, grow your audience and increase your book sales.

And connect with me on twitter! I love to re-tweet!

Another Great Writers Resource Now Available

I've just added another resource to the Writers Resource page.  I hope you take a moment to check out all the books I have there.  They are meant to help all of you wonderful writers!

The newest item available is by Martha Engber author of "The Wind Thief."  Martha was my guest on Page Readers to discuss her novel and gave us a little insight into her book for writers "Growing Great Characters from the Ground Up."

Be sure to listen to Martha talk about both books during her interview on Page Readers.

If you've written a book or report that you feel would make a nice addition to the Page Readers Writers Resource shop, please send me an email at pagereaders@gmail.com. 

NEW - Writers Resource Page

As Page Readers continues to grow, I have to say the best thing about the experience are the wonderfully talented people I meet along the way.

So many of these people are not only creators of tales or books that help us along this journey in life, they are also the creators of information.  As they learn to develop their skills and become experts, they find that sometimes, people are interested in the "how" than the result.

On the new Page Readers Writers Resource Page, I've put together a short list - which I'm sure will grow! - of books or guides written by authors who have been there and done that.  I've even included my own Quick Tips advice to help all of you have successful interviews when you promote your work.  Yes - the book is still coming out!  I just felt that getting these important tips out first would at least give you all something to start with.

And, if you do happen to purchase my Quick Tips, you'll receive a special gift to use when the book is released SOON!

One more thing!  If you have your own how to book available, something that you think other authors should have as a guide, please let me know.  I would be honored to add your product to the Page Readers Writers Resource Page.  Just send me an email at pagereaders@gmail.com.

Thank you everyone for making Page Readers so successful.  Keep reading and keep writing!
