Kathryn McClatchy is our speaker on social media:
Blurb:
Social media platforms and best practices change almost constantly. New apps, new uses, new rules, new upgrades… no wonder writers are confused, and many opt out because they just want to write their stories. Unfortunately, those who opt out also miss out on useful research tools, growing audiences, and free advertising.
Whether you are new to social media, need to update your skills, or want specific best practices for authors, this is the session for you.
Join Kathryn McClatchy as she presents current info on hashtag usage and Twitter best practices. The second half of her time will be spent allowing you to get on Twitter, practicing what you’ve learned and asking questions as they come up. Make sure you have Twitter loaded/updated on your favorite device. If time allows, Kathryn will also explain how the hashtag info applies to other social media platforms.
