Social media for authors
While still researching my forthcoming post on book social networking sites, I wanted to share this video with you. Thanks to Sarah Caldwell of Princeton University Press for bringing it to my attention. I think it’ll be required viewing for the next new author with whom I start working – just so s/he’ll be forewarned of the phone calls to come.

No Spin PR develops messaging that works for 21st Century corporations. Wading through jargon, deconstructing dissertations, getting to the heart of the matter – that’s our job. Then we get you talking to your audiences: customers, suppliers, regulators, staff, critics, pundits, politicians….
If there are people who haven’t heard your side of the story, don’t know what you can do for them, or don’t know you exist, let No Spin PR help you start some conversations.
For the past three years I’ve been working with authors (both fiction and non-fiction, traditionally and self-published), scientists, and scientists who are authors. I also provide one-on-one and one-to-many social media training on site, via Skype and on the phone.
Since this is a blog, a brief blog comment policy: The author of this blog and owner of this site welcomes comments that are neither obscene nor spam (although if the spam is particularly amusing it may well be posted). If I’ve got something wrong, please don’t hesitate to let me know and your comment will be posted. The only revisions that are silently made to blog posts (no matter how retrospectively embarrassing they may be) will be to correct typos (spelling, punctuation or those nasty double words/words left out). Any other revisions made for updating purposes will use strikethrough mode or will be posted as comments themselves, prefaced by the word: Update.

OMIGAWD!! This is so how I once was. Thank God I found Ruth Seeley and no.spin.pr. And no, I’m not her brother or a lifelong friend, I’m a bona fide client who has benefited greatly from Ruth’s expertise (and if you don’t believe me, e-mail me and I’ll send a notarized sworn document to this effect).

LOL – Andrew – thank you. I had to post this partly because it was funny and well deserving of a Moby, but also because it was just so true. It’s been nice getting your emails saying, ‘oh, I see what you mean about LinkedIn’ – proves you’ve been listening.

I have no idea how I landed here – but I’m glad I did. Thanks for sharing the video – so funny – sad, but funny. I have SEVERAL people I’m sending it to – today. no – seriously – today.

Glad you liked it, Phyllis – it was just too good not to post, especially since it reminds me of how bewildered I felt when I first started trying to wrap my head around social media – only to discover I was already a ‘power user.’ All righty then.
