It’s Iola here. Welcome to our Australasian Christian Writers Tuesday Book Chat, where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week.
Today’s question is:
Do you follow your favourite authors on social media? If so, which social media?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation in a comment on this post or in a comment on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group. Or, if you’re feeling wordy (like me), write a blog post and link to it in the comments.
Let’s chat!

yes I do. I do have twitter and am following several authors but to be honest I don’t really read many tweets.
I do however follow several authors on Facebook and am a member of a few author who have groups. I tend to be more likely to follow and keep following authors who are active and interact with readers. I am was a member of many pages or author groups that I recently deleted. The reason was some hadn’t had a post in over 2 years. If the author isn’t interacting why be in the group.
I am how ever in a couple of groups set up by the author where it feels like we are all friends, can talk books, general life, have fun and also know its a safe place to post a prayer request.
I don’t really do Instagram as I don’t know how to really use it.
Only a couple on FB. I generally just wait to find out about new books by my favourite authors from publisher emails, blogs or shop catalogues.
