Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!
I follow a lot of authors on social media, especially Twitter, including some whose books I haven't even read (yet) but I just like their style. I end up following authors usually because other authors I like follow them, I read an article they wrote, or I read a short story or book excerpt of theirs online. I do try to preorder when I can!
Authors Who Have A Fun Social-Media Presence
1. Maggie Stiefvater-I followed her on Twitter after reading The Raven Boys (which I read because C.G. Drews, see below, extolled it so highly), and I love her on-brand tweets about social awkwardness, idiosyncratic vehicles, and ruminations on her characters' inner lives.
2. C.G. Drews-I found her because of her Paper Fury blog, but since then, I read and loved her book The Boy Who Steals Houses. I also follow her on Twitter and Instagram.
3. Neon J.Y. Yang-I've read some of their short stories and follow them on Twitter largely because of their LGBTQ and enby activism.
4. Elizabeth Gilbert-I follow her on Twitter but mostly Instagram for both spiritual and practical inspiration--and lots of travel pics!
5. Charlie Jane Anders-I started reading her short stories on Tor.com, then followed her on Twitter and read her novels. I highly rec everything she's written. Someday I will go to one of her NYC writer events.
6. Krista D. Ball-Tweets a ton about her new spaniel puppy, Jersey, and it's hilarious and adorable.
7. Agent Auggie- I'm a little off topic here, but Auggie is a corgi book agent. He is also associated with the author and book agent @ericsmithrocks
8. Dahlia Adler-she comes up with a lot of fun diverse YA and other reading lists in addition to being an author in her own right. I read one of her books after I had been following her on Twitter for a while.
