Twitter can sharpen your writing, connect you with fellow authors and readers, and help you publicise your books, but it can also swallow hours you need for writing. This guide, written by an author with a large and active following, sets out practical methods and candid accounts of early missteps. It explains how to tell genuine followers from fake ones, how to get past the stubborn follower milestone that stalls many accounts, how to host a Twitter party, and which approaches work best for promoting a title. Whether you are new to the platform or already a regular, the aim is to help you use it as a working tool for your career without losing the time you need to write.
