SOCIAL MEDIA is an important part of every writer's tool kit. But unless a writer knows how to use it, social media can be frustrating. Without the proper knowledge, writers can waste both time and effort. WHILE THERE'S NOT a one-size-fits-all answer to using social media to build connections with readers, there are principles that apply to all circumstances to help writers connect with their audience. This book will help every writer, no matter where they are on the publishing path, use social media to build effective connections and expand their reach. DiANN MILLS & EDIE MELSON know the importance of effective social media. They also have the proven engagement and numbers to back up their expertise. And they know how to show other writers how to do what they do. As co-directors of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference and the Mountainside Publishing Retreats, DiAnn and Edie bring much more to the table than their combined half-century of writing expertise. They exhibit a proven passion to equip writers today. Individually and together, they have encouraged thousands of writers as they stay true to the call of "changing the world one writer at a time."
