I am a big fan of books, reading and authors.  I think the process of writing is a huge challenge,  getting your thoughts down, edited, produced, and to ultimately have people around the world moved by your words, is a huge accomplishment that leaves me in awe.

I have a few friends who are authors, Jennifer Alison is the author of the popular book series Gilda Joyce,  Court wrote a movie (Old School) and a children’s book Hugville, my favorite boss of all time Jack Rossin wrote The Pawn Shop Chronicles, all excellent!

Recently I have been working with a few people who are authors and we are trying to chart the best course for using social media to engage their readers.  I came across this article by Chris Brogan, An Author’s Plan for Social Media Efforts.

Brogan offers a check list of awesome ideas for using Social Media to spread the word and engage your audience, which should create great traction for your book.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any additions to this list, or by all means let me know when your book is published, I would be happy to read it!
