In addition to having a strong social media presence and engaging with readers, award-winning author and e-newsletter editor Darlyn Finch Kuhn recommends that writers appreciate, support, and acknowledge other writers in their communities. Kuhn started her online newsletter, Scribbles, as a way to encourage other writers on their journeys and to offer support and promotion for their events. The key to successfully networking, Kuhn says, is to be a strong supporter of others so that they will return the favor. Kuhn makes a point to attend book signings, write book reviews, and offer advice to fellow writers. She is a strong believer in giving before you receive and would like to see this trend continue to grow in writing communities.
This is great advice for authors. Simply help and support other authors.
Thank you. Should be obvious, but introverts like myself need to be reminded.... constantly.
This was very useful.
