Hello Writers; I Hope this finds you safe. Have you thought about turning to Twitter for submission opportunities, publishing news, and inspiration? You can follow specific hashtags (#) which interest you. Hashtags are a way of setting categories for your social media content.

#IndieAuthorChat

As part of a drive to connect more group members, The Alliance of Independent Authors will be stepping up their Twitter Chat.

#MSWL

Manuscript wish list hashtags is used by agents and editors who are looking for specific elements for story submissions. You can reply with your pitch and if they are interested, they will send you a Direct Message (DM).

Generate interest by creating and using your own hashtags based on your blog name, book title, or author pen name, for example.

Yes, Twitter has a well-deserved reputation for political rants, but it is what you make it. Focus on what guides your passion for writing and you’ll find others who feel the same and who love a good story as much as you do.

Hoping this #selfisolation period is proving to be productive, and thanks for following WordsmithSix!
