Ten Top Twitter Follows for Writers
More and more writers are joining the micro-blogging service Twitter, and a question I hear repeatedly from newcomers is, "What other Twitter users should I follow?"So I thought today I'd share ten of my top Twitter recommendations for writers. These are people whose tweets I especially look out for, as they regularly share useful, interesting and sometimes entertaining info and links. I've included their Twitter bios as well...

Obviously, your writing interests may not correspond exactly with mine, so some of these folk may be of more interest to you than others. Still, I highly recommend checking them all out by clicking on their Twitter IDs. If you like what you see, you can then click to follow them.
And, of course, you are very welcome to follow me as well - here's a link to my Twitter homepage!
If you find this list useful, let me know and I'll publish further lists of great tweeps to follow in future.

Yep, this is very useful, Nick. I've just joined Twitter, looking for interesting writers and fellow-travellers to follow. So thanks! I presume you retweet the best tweets you come across??
Thanks, Fran. And yes, I do indeed RT tweets I think my followers will find interesting.
Welcome to Twitter!
Thank you! I'm struggling to get going on Twitter, so will check those out....it does seem difficult to search for interesting people on Twitter.
No problem. Those ten will give you a good start!
Thanks Nick. Every time this post is tweeted I gather up a dozen or so new followers and it's happened again!
LOL. I aim to please!
Neophyte writer also new to Twitter. Thanks for the tips, they are indeed useful!
I checked out some of the links, including the author's. "Saved" a few of the web pages to read later and for reference. This was - not, is - good information!
