Fact: Social media will be a part of your life as a writer.  Your publisher will make you use it.  And if you self publish, it will be essential.

The most successful authors embrace social media early in their careers, often before they are published.  They use social media to build their platform. And when they are published they have far greater success, because they've already built a following of readers.

But many authors are misusing social media.  They play with it like a toy or grumble that it isn't doing anything for them.  Social networks are tools.  Like any tool, it is only as good as the person wielding it.  Find out how to use these social media tools successfully to build your career, build your readership, and sell more books!

We will explore Twitter, Goodreads, and Facebook.  We'll go over how to set up your accounts.  You learn how to use each of these social networks.  You'll also learn what strategies to use before you are published, during a book launch or as ongoing marketing.  Finally, you'll get tips and tricks that will save you time and enhance your efforts.
