To see how published authors, and other publishing professionals, use Twitter.com to connect with their audience and promote their books and services, I've gathered together a list of 50+ "Tweeters" that I thought you'd be interested in. This list includes authors, literary agents, and book publishers, as well as writing coaches and other tweeters offering writing related information, such as links to video book trailers, poetry resources, and more.
Because the basic question that's being addressed is "how do writers use Twitter.com?" I picked people to follow based on their connection to traditional publishing, and not on the topics they talk about. So, some may talk about writing a lot, while others may say very little about it. Some may promote, promote, promote, while others may share more of the day-to-day realities of their life and let the promotion simply be their presence at Twitter, and the website link in their bio. Some may post a lot of tweets, while others may post only occasionally. This grab bag of micro-bloggers was chosen purposefully, so that you could see the many ways writers actually use Twitter.
