Instagram for Authors

Sunday, May 23

8pm eastern/5pm pacific

Take your Instagram to the next level with ideas and strategies to build a reader community. With over 1 billion monthly worldwide users and growing, Instagram is a major league social media platform connecting users across the world. The key fact for us writers: readers hang out there! I built my own Instagram platform prior to my debut and solicited over 50 early ARC reader requests from this platform alone. I started the Instagram for Authors Facebook group, a 1.5k member group to help writers at any level connect and collaborate.
