Twitter may help sell books & keep you connected

Are you a writer? Editor? Publisher? Then you might want to seriously consider being on Twitter.

Yeah, I know–another social networking tool. Do you really need another? But I’ve found it a great tool for finding out what’s going on in the publishing world; connecting with other writers; and finding new books I might enjoy. I’ve also been using it to try to promote my own books.

For a fantastic article on how children’s and YA writers (or any writer) can use Twitter to help them, check out @inkyelbows article.

Still not convinced? Read this wonderful, detailed article by @charabbott that documents some surges in book buying because of Twitter.
