Yes, I understand that Twitter is a good way of spreading the message that you’ve got a new self published book on Amazon. But if every single tweet is just a variation of advertising said self published classic, then I ain’t following you.

In fact it makes me wonder why self published authors don’t engage more with the people who follow them. Is it a lack of imagination? Cluelessness around how Twitter actually works? Or is the self published crowd so self absorbed that they’re incapable of noticing anyone around them.

And, yes, generalisng. Not all self published authors spam Twitter. But I’m guessing they’re also in the minority.
