Writers on Twitter? What better place to network with your writer friends!

Writers on Twitter - where to find them, what they write about... that is the focus of this page.

Twitter is a phenomenal place to connect with writers - and they're out there - twittering happily day after day, between lines of their current projects.

Writing is a way of life that many of us cannot live without. A day without writing seems . . . imbalanced, don't you think?

You can meet some great writers through Twitter. Let me show you how...

I've tried Twitter and still can't seem to get into it that much. Can you really just add random writers you don't know and plug your writing to them? I guess maybe I need to spend more time with it perhaps. In any case, for all the writers out there, I just wanted to recommend a literary search site i found called Infloox.com - here's a review of it: http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1340000334/post/10047601.html?nid=3714

I've had a few articles published for the Antiques Trade and I've always said that I have a couple of "books" in me - they just aren't ready to come out yet. This is a good resource for when I get started.

I loved the short videos. it is an interesting way to broaden a writer's view - something beyond reading and ever more writing. Great insights of Bradbury talking about writing about his own perceptions, Oates talking about regressing characters from known heros. Wonderful. Thank you.

Good idea for a lens -- writers unite! I've been a writer since before I entered my teens and have won a couple of writing contests when I was young. My mother thinks of me as that writer with a book inside of her. I've been blogging since December 2004 and have 2 lenses that point to my 2 blogs.
