#ArtofTwitter – My review!
Today I venture into new territory – reviewing a non-fiction book! As an author of fantasy adventure books, I like to hang out in fictional places. Despite that desire, and having read Mr. Parson’s novel Blott, when he released his book The #ArtofTwitter: A Twitter Guide with 114 Powerful Tips for Artists, Authors, Musicians, Writes, and Other Creative Professionals, I decided to give it a read.
Synopsis (from the author):
MASTERING TWITTER IS THE MOST POWERFUL WAY TO GET YOUR VOICE HEARD AS A CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL
In The #ArtOfTwitter, fantasy writer and Twitter coach Daniel Parsons explains how he grew a 90,000 strong army of loyal followers and gained real-world influence as an indie author. Breaking his tactics into short chapters and simple, actionable steps, he demonstrates exactly how any creative professional can achieve similar results.
Whether you’re a writer, artist, musician, or any other creative professional, The #ArtOfTwitter will show you how to:
– Understand the changing world of social media

What I liked about The #ArtofTwitter:
Unlike some of the book marketing books and courses out there, Mr. Parsons gives real instruction, great how to tips, and examples of how he grew his Twitter following to over 90,000! As an author who is constantly searching for new ways to connect with followers and readers, this advice is very helpful – especially the don’t do this parts! In addition, he presents the information in an easily readable and understandable manner. Because of Mr. Parson’s success, I know I will be using the tips and information presented in The #ArtofTwitter to grow my Twitter followers!
What I didn’t like about The #ArtofTwitter:
Since there aren’t any characters to discuss, no plot to pick apart, or subplots to explore, there isn’t much to dislike about the book.
Overall impression of The #ArtofTwitter:
The #ArtofTwitter by Daniel K. Parsons is a surprisingly practical and easy to follow guide for navigating Twitter. If audience growth and social media connections are your goal, this is one book that will help get you there! Give it a try!!

What were your biggest takeaways from the book?
The thing I liked most about it was the way he laid out ways to increase your presence and avoid getting in Twitter jail. I know you laid out some similar things in your post about how you grew your Twitter audience. I also am now investigating the Manage Flitter stuff…
