My Latest Thoughts on Writers & Social Media

While at AWP, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Caleb J. Ross and Nik Korpon to talk about writers, social media, and the digital era.

You can listen to the 20-minute conversation here.

Some topics we discuss:

How is it writers are so attached to the physical book?
Is aversion to electronic media generational?
Does spreading content through multiple platforms make your platform weaker?
What's the benefit to tracking reader habits?
What are some tools authors can use to evaluate return on their investment of time and energy?
