40 Twitter Hashtags for Writers
40 Twitter Hashtags for Writers 40 Twitter Hashtags for Writers 40 Twitter Hashtags for Writers By Simon Kewin If you use Twitter, you’re probably already familiar with the idea of hashtags. These are simply a way of categorizing particular tweets by including within them a keyword prefixed with the hash or â€Å"pound†(#) symbol. So, for example, tweets containing writing advice will often contain the â€Å"#writetip†tag. The point of this is to make it easier to find all tweets containing writing advice : you just search for â€Å"#writetip†. Similarly, you could find a stream of publication tips by keeping an eye on tweets with â€Å"#pubtip†in them. Using relevant hashtags in your own tweets also increases the likelihood of others seeing your post and becoming a follower. They’re a great way to engage with a particular community of Twitter users. The following is a list of some of the hashtags that will be of interest to writers. The list can never be exhaustive because anyone can invent a new tag at any time. Most are self-explanatory, although some need explanation : †¨Ã‚ #amediting  posts from people who are editing #amwriting  posts from people who are writing #askagent  agent questions and answers #author #authors #editing #fictionfriday #fridayflash  flash fiction on a Friday #nanowrimo  national novel writing month #novels #novelists #poem #poet #poets #poetry #pubtip  publication tips #publishing #scifi #selfpublishing #vss   very short story #webfic  web fiction #weblit   web literature #wip   work in progress #wordcount #writegoal #writequote #writer #writers #writetip  writing advice #writing #writingtips  writing advice #wrotetoday †¨Ã‚ Some hashtags are specifically â€Å"chats†– which means they work in the same way as all tags, but are mainly used at certain agreed times : †¨Ã‚ #journchat #kidlitchat #litchat #scifichat #scribechat #storycraft #writechat #yalitchat   young adult literature chat †¨Ã‚ The following spreadsheet is a good place to keep track of the schedules for these Twitter chats if you’re interested in joining in : http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=ruaz3GZveOsoXUOOt86B3AQ Want to improve your English in five minutes a day?
