Almost all my writer friendships have happened online via social media because I didn& #39;t grow up with the traditional literary pedigree (MFA, etc.) I read something by a writer that inspired me and started to follow them, talk with them, etc. Here are some: 1/n

I found . @devislaskar when she responded to one of my tweets in 2018 about ageism in publishing. Her debut novel, which I then read, blew me away. And I& #39;m so honored she then blurbed my debut. https://twitter.com/devislaskar/status/1044643588791881728?s=20

There are several other such inspiring writers. I need to do such threads often to share their specific works that have inspired me.

If a writer has inspired you in any way, share their work. Review their work. Interview them. Invite them to book events. Pay it forward.
