If used properly, social media hashtags can be one of the best ways to connect with film experts, industry creatives, publishers, readers, and other writers.
It's so important to build your brand BEFORE your works are published so that once it’s out, you have pre-orders and an audience waiting to dive into your mind! Used incorrectly, well you'll just attract a shit load of spam and waste hours of your time.
And you my dear writer, do not have time to waste. Poets do not have time to waste.
I'm sure if you're on Instagram, twitter or facebook you've seen hashtags floating around at the tail end of posts. I have compiled a list of some of the hashtags that will be of interest to writers and readers. Keep in mind anyone can invent a new tag at any time.
