Robert Mackay asked David Anderson:

Hi David. Just wondering how active you are on social media? Where do you concentrate your efforts? Thanks--I'm interested to hear what fellow authors are using, and what they find useful. Cheers Bob

David Anderson Hi Bob. Thanks for your question. I am not very active on social media. For example I am not on Facebook or Twitter. There seems to be two views on the subject: that social media is vital for writers, and that it's unlikely to make significant difference for the great majority of us. All I know is that it is not something I want to spend time doing.

I do keep a very simple blog to have somewhere to post news or views whenever I want or need to do so. And I am very drawn to Goodreads because it is a site which gathers together a great mass of keen readers on the look-out for new things to read. This seems to me to be a primary place where authors should be!

Thanks again for your question. It made me think about this subject afresh.
