Today I am starting a new thing. I’m calling it author bump and it’s pretty simple. Every day I’m going to tweet about a different author. Just one tweet per day with the hashtag #authorbump. I’ve looked and no one is using this tag, so I think it will work. The idea? I want to help people find new authors, and help authors find new peers to interact with. I will not be screening the work that people do. I’d love to, but that would take a huge amount of time that I frankly don’t have. So if you’re a writer and you want to be bumped what do you do? It’s pretty simple. If you and I are following each other on twitter (I follow everyone back, so this is an easy step) all you have to do is send me a direct message. Your message should look like: “Today’s #authorbump comes from YOUR TWITTER NAME AND TWEET”. You can link out to your book, your author page or a promo that you’re doing, that’s totally up to you. I’ll put your tweet in a spreadsheet then tweet it at some point in time. I can’t give you the exact day that I’ll tweet you because it will depend on how many people send me tweets. Please don’t have profanity in your tweet as my feed is family friendly. So there it is. This is something I am doing off the cuff so if you like it, great! If you don’t, sorry. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or send me a message, and I hope you have a great day.
