I just learned about this post via a tweet…..wanted to stop by and say ‘thanks’. I’m flattered and found a few new people to follow on your list! I like following people on the recommendation of others. Great list.

And to the nay-sayers….I challenge you to a duel…or a write off. Bring it on!

no, i wouldn´t. i have other to propose. any searching media around? only if. i follow mine. my tips. imagine a newspaper sometimes even allowing herhimself something like this: post the ITEM title :] and give them THIS mount of time. [normal redaktionsschluß]. but a normal one. -> then still take a look and be prepared for the person who might STAY interrested in your MORE DETAILED answer description WHY actually your newspaper of the day later and the day later was still tending to “also more and more turning into metamedium”

(source: a person’s account style. some have the right to get TOUGHER and TACHELEZZER than this “being nice”-style herearound, i hate stuff like this. world is playing with you only as much as you let it do it. i am not a puppy, I BITE. i prefer to warn and follow mine.)

Thanks so much for including me on this list! Honored to be among the other esteemed folks on it.

I’d have to disagree with Lookman’s assertion that Twittering leaves little time for “serious writing,” as I have no problem fulfilling my professional obligations and still having more than enough time to interact with great people online. Twitter is a vital part of any 21st century writer’s social media persona – those who eschew or otherwise denigrate it are destined only to find the smallness to which they aspire.

Looking forward to talking to many of you! Have a great day!

This is a terrific list, Danalyn! Thanks so much for taking the time to compile. Many of these fabulous people I knew about and some I didn’t, so it’s great to have some new people to follow and interact with.

Quite annoying, though, that some of your commentors here feel as if this is the forum to either complain that they weren’t included OR pitch themselves, their blogs or their products.

Goodness, since when did people lose all sense of graciousness and manners???

Again, great job and thanks so much for bringing these fine, talented people to our attention. Ignore the crazies and the rudies

Skeptic: Every one of the people in the list is a traditional media writer/author, freelance writer or professional blogger. We feel they all have something valuable to share, which is a fair trade-off for reading personal tweets.

By: Skeptic

Skeptic — Fri, 01 May 2009 20:51:44 +0000

Most of these people aren’t remotely “writers.” You should redo your headline. All I see so far are people who blog a lot. Visiting some of there Twitter pages, I see mostly the same stuff:

“I’m eating a hot dog.”

“I’m going to exercise now.”

Surely you can do better!

Thanks for the tips Danalyn! After 9 months on the service I follow a few of these posters (@problogger@ @creativepenn @menwithpens), but there are some new faces here I’ll be checking out!

I understand Raymond Lookman’s point but building a SM platform *before* you have work to promote is key — by being a helpful, useful, professional presence. It doesn’t work as well to suddenly pop up when your book’s completed, ready to use Twitter to promote it.

As an expat writer with a new book in progress, I also find Twitter’s been an invaluable tool to bring me closer to the world I work in, and up to speed on my industry. I’ve posted details of how I use Twitter as an author: http://tiny.cc/nZHEZ

Good luck all!

Raymond Whiting-Lookman — Fri, 01 May 2009 06:45:11 +0000

Hey, there you forgot me. The only problem with Twitter and all the other things a writer is supposed to do is; there is no time left for serious writing. Writing is a labour intensive occupation performed by artisans and generally not well paid. With two for one book offers and all the trade tricks of publishers/booksellers tricks there is little left for authors. These days’ authors are expected to market themselves and find their own leads. To be honest Twitter is one step too far for most committed authors to get involved with.
This is not a realistic proposition LOOKMAN

What an honor! I was told that my writing was not good enough years ago, and I chose to believe it until I came online in 2005. Now I teach and encourage others to build an online business with their writing. Thanks again for including me in such esteemed company.

Cool list I’m following a few of those people.
Some aren’t surprising but sadly I have seen as a person’s presence gets bigger they usually forget where they came from and stop answering people,writing post etc. Time moves fast today’s Hero may be tomorrow’s ghost. Just following someone for the hell of it is really no benefit at all
They’re are people on that list that I do admire
