New Logo: Author Deanna Martinez-Bey

 

Check out me new logo! It screams...ME! It has everything I love about being an author: the color pink, books, coffee, and reading glasses! OK, maybe I don't love my reading glasses, but I DO love the logo.

It was created by Missy Farrow and here is her Instagram page for you to follow: Mfarrowsocialmedia

Missy also has a fantastic blog that will make you laugh: Missy Farrow on social 

When she was creating this masterpiece, we discussed how a social media logo should be simple and not contain too many details because the photos are so small on most of the social media sites. I completely agree and am thankful that she pointed that out!

Best hashtags for authors on Twitter

 

I have been exploring into the Twitterverse and want to share some of my favorite hashtags for authors / writers:

• #writingcommunity
• #amwriting
• #writerslife
• #WIP
• #indieauthors
  
• #romancewriter
• #romance
• #author
• #writingtip
• #getpublished
• #selfpublishing
• #ebooks
• #mustread
• #kindle
• #bookgiveaway
• #freebook
• #writerslift
  

 I hope these hashtags help you build your Twitter community. My all-time-favorite is #writingcommunity. There you will find other writers who want to connect. 

My second favorite as far as building my community is #writerslift. By adding this one, you will meet new authors and grow your following.

I suggest you take a look at each hashtag to see what they are and which are best for you.

Author Deanna Martinez-Bey on TicTok

 

 

Having kept a photography channel on TicTok, I decided to start an author channel too! I have to say, it has been fairly successful so far.

Here is a link to my channel, I would love to have you follow me there (I will follow you back):

Author Deanna Martinez-Bey

I found a Facebook page specifically for authors on TicTok and have found a great deal of support there:

Authors of TicTok 

Between the Facebook group and the apps algorithms, it has not been difficult to find other authors to support. The writing/reading community on social media is one of the most supportive I have found!

Social media course reveal...

Hello, everyone! I have some exciting news to share...

Guess who wrote an online social media course? This girl. It took me months to write it and complete all the videos. However, it took YEARS of research to obtain all the information I share in the course.

As a published author, I had to learn how to successfully network myself online. The course is written, NOT just for authors, but for everyone who needs to network themselves, their business or their brand online.

All you have to do, is email me: book.writer.deanna@gmail.com and I will send you pricing and details about the course. I can tell you this: the course contains videos, PDF documents and on screen tutorials...everything you need to network!

Check out this video I made on Facebook live when I revealed my course:
