Today I am signing up to the Writers’ Platform Building Campaign, run by Rachael Harrie, a YA horror writer . This is her third campaign, and she describes it on her blog as “a way to link those of us in the writing community together with the aim of helping to build our online platforms. The Campaigners are all bloggers in a similar position, who genuinely want to pay it forward, make connections and friends within the writing community, and help build each others’ online platforms while at the same time building theirs.”
I first heard of the campaign the other day when I saw fellow twitter writers using the #writecampaign hashtag. I asked @damyantig (see her website at http://www.amloki.com/ ) what it’s all about and she was kind enough to send me the link to Rachael’s blog. What appeals to me is the opportunity to meet other writers and to make connections with bloggers who have a similar outlook in their writing life. Don’t get me wrong, I love twitter, I would never have found the Writers’ Platform Building Campaign without it, and I love meeting new friends through facebook, but this feels more intimate, more tangible and when I read what is involved in being a campaigner, I knew I had to sign up. So why don’t you click here and read all about it? The list of campaigners closes on August 31st – maybe I’ll see you there!
Sweet, I’ll have to check it out, thanks!
Thank you for your comment, I hope to see you there!
Fellow campaigner here and new follower here! This is my second time doing the campaign and it is loads of fun. Looking forward to learning more about you and your journey as a writer.
Thank you Trisha. It’s my first time so it’s pretty exciting to be a part of the campaign. I look forward to reading your writing!
Sophie: Have you had a cupcake yet? Glad to be on the Write Campaign with you – cheers!
I’ve had many!
See you on the Writers’ Campaign!
You joined up in the same group as me! How cool is that?
Wow! You’ll be sick of the sight of me soon, Damyanti!
Nice to meet you. I was just reading your post on scenes, it was really informative.
Thank you Myne, glad you like the post on writing scenes.
