Book Marketing on Twitter: The 15 Most Important Twitter Lists

May 13, 2015 by E.T. Carlton

twitter-listsTwitter is one of the best ways for authors to network with other writers and with publishers, literary agents and book promoters.  Twitter is so important for anyone involved in the world of books that having a Twitter profile has become a must for any author, new or established, to access book blogs, thought leaders in publishing and readers. Twitter is also a treasure-trove of useful news and information on writing, digital publishing trends and book marketing ideas, if you use it correctly. One of the most effective ways is to subscribe to Twitter lists.

Twitter lets you make lists of other users whose Tweets you want to follow, usually grouped together by subject matter.  Most large publishers and well known writers, as well as book blogs and book promotion sites have created Twitter lists that are public – meaning you can subscribe to them to see the tweets of the movers and shakers of the world of books and writing. Looking for book promotion ideas? There are Twitter lists for that. Want up to the minute publishing news and information about where the book world is heading? Subscribe to the lists of some of the most influential Tweeters, and get a leg up on networking and knowledge.

Below is a sampling of the most important lists to follow on Twitter. Just click on the link and hit subscribe!
