What a great site. I enjoyed reading all the helpful hints for writers on twitter.
Thanks so much for this helpful info! So many writers I talk to often say “I don’t get why I need Twitter.” I appreciate that I now have somewhere to direct them to show the basics. And this was helpful for me too!

Hi, Debbie,
I must admit when Alex and I tell friends and fellow-writers about our Twitter activities and chat, we are met with some funny looks.
We consider it to be a great resource as well as a growing tool for both lit-industry education, promotion, as well as honing the craft.
Thanks for the terrific guide to Twitter–I’ll definitely do my best to spread the word.

Hi,This site has been very useful. Twitter forces me to compress what I have to say. It’s good practice. It’s a little like writing a haiku. Thanks for all your hard work.
