The Review
There is no getting away from the fact that we live in a digital age and that networking is key for authors whether they are traditionally published or self-published .
Networking for Writers helps writers make sense of the plethora of social media platforms out there in a straightforward organised way.
The author has created a user-friendly book and it is great, at last, to have a thorough book to guide writer through the social media maze.
Lizzie Chantree has produced a wonderful resource, that is now regularly by my side. It is quick to read, but do not be misled. This book is filled with so many gems to help writers start, and grow their social media presence, and work with other writers.
The ideas are useful and allow writers to benefit both their readers and their businesses by taking part in social media with the writing community. It allows writers to benefit not only themselves but to enjoy and help the wider writing community, too. Networking for Writers defines a win - win situation that can be fun and profitable. What an excellent combination!
It is definitely worth the read and I highly recommend it for all writers.
