FACEBOOK Groups for Writers

by - July 16, 2016

Good evening, guys!

I hope you've all been enjoying this hot summer (it's burning even here, in the UK!), reading a nice book by the sea or a pool, having a cool cocktail and getting some much needed vitamin D.

Personally, I've been enjoying some time with family - both myself and H, my Prince, we live in the UK, and our families live in Portugal, so whenever we get the time to be with them, we just pull the plug on everything else.

Besides the usual editing, reading and trying to finish the next novel - KMN... - I've been enjoying myself on something that it's really a given to all of us, these days: FACEBOOK.

For us, struggling writers, to get much needed support, is hard. I've decided that perhaps sharing with you some of the groups where I've been trying to get myself involved with, might help you as well. If you're like me, that has been struggling to write anything worth reading for months and months, take a look at these wonderful support groups, and you might just get great idea you've been waiting for.


KSCD SELF-PUBLISHED AND INDIE AUTHOR SUPPORT GROUP



Initiated by a dear friend and writer, Shelly Muncaster, this support group will make you feel like you're among friends as soon as you enter through the virtual door. If you're looking for reviews, some promotion, a good time with other writers than 100% understand your struggles, this is the group you should start with. Shelly has an Instagram account as well @keystrokesandcloseddoors where she answers your questions about anything writing related, as give you ideas, support and adorable private moments.


KINDLE MOJO


Kindle Mojo is great for writers and for readers as well. For me, when I'm stuck and don't know what to read next, this amazing group of over 10k people, will share many freebies and discount priced books for my Kindle, and 99% of the times, I cannot believe that the books I'm reading come from other struggling amateur writers! Take a look at this wonderful group of people, and find what unknown story you can read next. Oh, and a little self promotion never hurt anyone, just remember to support the other writers as well - don't be greedy!


PARANORMAL ROMANCE & URBAN FANTASY FANATICS


YES, you guesses it: this group is all about that perfect genre, Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy (not always one and the same genre, but when it is... oh boy, do I get the chills!). With over 4k members and still counting, this bunch of paranormal and fantasy lovers will share with you the best of the best of what's out there - or what just came out, from known and unknown authors alike. If Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy is your poison, drop by this Facebook group, and get lost on the thousands and thousands of amazing literature that you will find in there.


#MINXES REVIEWS


Oh, reviews... The one thing we all look for, that one review that could change the course of our literary career - or drown it as fast as the Titanic. This very small group will give you a sincere and polite review of your work, you only have to be polite, ask, and wait. Of course, I can't promise you will have a review ASAP - neither can they -, but you will definitely find some nice folk, great stories, and that so much needed review.


PASSION FOR BOOKS


"In this group, you can post anything related to books" That's how Réjean Pellerin welcomes you to the group. This group gets new members every hour, with over 30k members at the moment. If you are looking to make some writing friends, get to know some new work, help with editing, do some self promotion, you are welcome to post it. Don't forget the number one rule: always be polite. Don't spam the group, offer your services and mean it.


If you're anything like me, and you spend way too many hours around Facebook, take a few minutes and check out these amazing people. Take time to get to know them, and if you put your heart into it, you will find that one little thing that has been missing in your own work.


Happy Readings,

Sophie
