Social Butterflies!
"So it's sorta social, demented and sad, but social. Right?"
Even bad boy John Bender (aka Judd Nelson) from the movie The Breakfast Club seemed to understand the benefits of being social.
That movie came out in 1985, a time when articles were only one-way arguments presented to a faceless audience--an audience with presumably too much Aqua Net hairspray. Now, we can write and get immediate feedback, share, publicize, and see who is discussing our work on social networks in real time. We can publish our own words on blogs and gather a tribe of readers around our content. We can sell advertising or products on our blog to earn a living. We can use social networks to promote our books and our author brand. And of course, we can connect with old friends from the eighties who remember popular quotes from John Hughes movies.
If you're anything like me, you probably got started on social networks to connect with long lost friends and share photos and news with your family members. As you grew as a writer and started connecting with other writers, you wondered if there was more to it--something you should be doing professionally to take it to the next level . . . something more productive than sharing videos about Gangnam style. Maybe you even achieved a good balance but are still not quite where you want to be.
We've all heard the success stories--authors making over a million dollars a year because they promoted their books on social networks or bloggers supporting themselves and their families entirely through their blog. But how do we harness the awesome power of social media and use it to our advantage as a writer and author? And without getting overwhelmed by it all? You're in luck, grasshopper. Take off your Wayfarers and pull up to the screen. It's time to get social! This issue is all about using social media to your advantage as a writer.

Preemie: Lessons in Love, Life, and Motherhood
In her early thirties, Kasey Mathews had it all: a loving husband, a beautiful two-year-old son, and a second baby on the way. But what seemed a perfect life was shattered when she went into labor four months early, delivering her one-pound, eleven-ounce daughter, Andie.
The first time Kasey was wheeled into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), nothing prepared her for what she saw: a tiny, fragile baby in a tangle of tubes and wires. All at once, Kasey was confronted with a new and terrifying reality that would test the limits of love, family, and motherhood.
In this riveting, honest, and often humorous memoir, Preemie chronicles the journey of one tiny baby's tenacious struggle to hold on to life and the mother who ultimately grew with her. From hospital waiting rooms to the offices of alternative practitioners, from ski slopes to Symphony Hall, Kasey tries to make meaning of her daughter's birth and eventually comes to learn that gifts come in all sizes and all forms, and sometimes... right on time.
Preemie (Hatherleigh Press, May 2012) by Kasey Mathews is available at Amazon.com

Success Stories from You!
Congratulations to all our Facebook fans on their successes this month!
---------------------------------------------------------
Angela Ackerman writes, "One of the difficult things a writer faces as they self-publish is the stigma of poorly written books. Some people will not take a chance on a self-published book for this reason. I released The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Character Expression in May with my co-author Becca Puglisi. The book sits at #3 on Amazon's highest rated list for 'Writing.' Even more exciting is the discovery that Illinois State University is using our book as required reading for their creative writing classes! It feels great to help debunk the myth that self-published books are not quality books."
---------------------------------------------------------
Stephanie Romero writes, "Writing was always a hobby for me. I did self-publish a book; and many years ago I developed my own home school curriculum, which I sold to others. But I always wanted to make a living as a writer.
"Three and a half years ago, I applied for a web content writing position. Within one year, I was able to quit my day job; and now, I work full time from home, making more than double what I did at my non-writing job.
"Sometimes I still feel like I need to pinch myself. As a result, I try to encourage other writers through my blog."
http://stephanieromero.wordpress.com/
---------------------------------------------------------
Jenn Gibson writes, "To test the waters, I decided to self-publish my debut novel, Sway, which was based on my life as a hard of hearing teen. Writing this book was a deeply personal journey that contained real aspects of my teen years. Within months, it became a Top 50 Bestseller at Kobobooks. Encouraged by this positive feedback as well as requests by fans to write a sequel, I produced a trilogy, which was just picked up by the publisher Black Opal Books. To see my book featured at online bookstores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble is simply amazing, especially after three years of hard work. Wow!"
---------------------------------------------------------
Sue Bradford Edwards writes, "The wonderful thing about writing for annuals is that all of your author's copies come together. Me and four books that contain my work. I love author's copies! And, yes, I'm wearing a book geek shirt, too."

It's quite possible that a writer's personal opinions will draw like-minded people in, build stronger relationships.

In Closing:
One of the reasons I wanted to do an issue on social media is because I'm a shy writer. Social media still feels so unnatural to me sometimes. I never know how much to share--if I'm sharing too much, not enough, or marketing too much. But if you don't overthink it and follow the advice in this issue, you can successfully make social media work for you. Let's support each other by connecting. We can do it! :)
