Twitter Etiquette for Authors


  • If every one of your posts is a plug for your writing, you're doing it wrong.
  • If you only tweet excerpts from your novel, you're doing it wrong.
  • If you send me SPAM the second I follow you, you're doing it wrong.
  • If you post Review snippits once an hour, every hour for an entire day, you're doing it wrong.
  • If you use # in front of half or more of the words in your post, you're doing it wrong.
  • If you occasionally post about contests on your website, you're doing it correctly.
  • If you sometimes post novel excerpts and self-promo but it isn't the majority of your tweets, you're doing it correctly.
  • If you follow someone and then un-follow the moment they follow-back, you're doing it wrong.
