New Blog Post: The Writer & Social Media

What’s the first thing a writer should do to begin building a presence in social media?

This summer I’ve moderated two panels on social media, the first at last month’s Bram Stoker Weekend in New York, the second this month at Confluence in Pittsburgh.

Let’s try putting them together into a virtual panel, in which responses from June are placed alongside those from the Confluence discussion.

The members of our virtual panel are Robert J. Sawyer,  one of the sf world’s most honored writers;  Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling and multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author;  Heidi Ruby Miller, co-editor of the writing guide Many Genres, One Craft; Matt Schwartz, creator of Shocklines.com and VP of Digital Marketing for Random House Publishing Group; S. G. Browne, author of the novels Breathers and Fated; and Jon Sprunk, author of the Shadow Saga.

Join them as they discuss how writers can used social media to build and cultivate a fan base. More at The 21st Century Scop.
