Thank you for your informative past. I am currently writing my first book–how I recovered from cancer…3 times. I am not sure how to incorporate a blog nor am I sure I want to. I don’t have a web page or a Twitter account. All I have is Facebook & a barely used Linked In site. Where should I go from here?

Thanks so much for this excellent post. I am new to the social media world and am doing my best to promote my new book They Raised Me Up: A Black Single Mother and the Women Who Inspired Her. Your article has given me several useful tips. Thank you.

This is a wonderful resource! Thank you for sharing:)
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the team for going the extra mile to tend to queries. Women’s writing is often undervalued in a patriarchal society, hence this platform is an important one.

The combination: self-publishing and autobiographical writing = a difficult duo to pursue. However, the passion which drives us to put down ‘a word, after a word, after a word is power’ and writer’s, especially women writers; need to keep re-igniting that passion and never give up on it!

This platform\community provides much needed support in this often overly materialistic world! Thank you and more strength to your arm!

In reply to Pat Wood.

Pat — That is the most important part for me about being active on social media — finding like-minded people who I don’t know in my “usual world.”

In reply to Lilian. Lilian -- So well said about being isolated if authors depend on traditional marketing methods!

Thanks for these useful tips. I’m in the midst of figuring out the marketing thing for my upcoming e-book and your pointers provided a foundational framework, I don’t feel so lost now!

This article is so timely! I have so many writing “friends” through Twitter and Facebook. It’s so nice to be able to form a bond with people who share your passion for writing!
