Why Authors Should Twitter

Lovely post by Mark Bertils of Index // MB's Minding the Gate touting the benefits of blogging for publishers. For all you authors out there, read the blog post substituting "author" for "book publisher." As Mark says, "Twitter is great at driving attention. The end."

As free technologies for conversing with the world about you, your book, and whatever else is on your mind go, Twitter can not be beat. You can find like-minded (or not) readers, writers, and thinkers, follow them - share your ideas and casually spread the word about your book while you're at it.

I'd say it's at least worth a try.

Happy Book Marketing!
