Reviewer: Laura Thomas

This book is perfect for authors and writers who are just embarking on the realms of social media, specifically Twitter—but it also has enough information for a seasoned pro to gain some extra knowledge on the subject. It starts out with step-by-step instructions for the absolute beginner, making it very non-threatening and user-friendly. As the book progresses, Snyder delves deeper into the world of Twitter with tips on scheduling, frequency, how to create great tweets, and pretty much anything you could imagine needing to know on the subject. At the end of each chapter, the reader is encouraged to take specific action, and on finishing the book there is no excuse for not being able to fully utilize Twitter effectively! Packed with links for further reading, resources, and recommended books, I came away knowing a lot more about Twitter than I did before, and feel confident in carrying out several of Snyder’s suggestions for authors. I thoroughly recommend this book for any writer (or any non-writer even!) who is interested in uncovering the mystery that is Twitter.
