Ninja Writers has a focus in 2022 of social media for writers. January’s theme was an introduction. This blog post includes most of the information we sent out in our Friday newsletters.

We’ve created a nice bundle of worksheets and PDFs for you. You can find links to them all here, so that they’re easy for you to reference again later.

If you’d like to join us for a live community call on Zoom Saturday 1/29/22 at 5pm EST, you can sign up here. This call is free for Ninja Writers Club members (the link is on your January calendar!)

An Intro to Social Media for Writers

Social Media can sound scary, if all you imagine when you think of it is Pinterest-ready pancakes and Instagram faces and influencers.

Yikes.

It gets considerably less scary when you realize that this is all social media really is: the place where your readers are already hanging out.

To make the best use of that, you need to know who your readers are.

Niches are the people you’re writing for. Not the topic you’re writing about.
