Digital consultant: Twitter isn't mandatory for authors

Do you enjoy hearing that you actually don’t have to do something everyone demands you do?

Well, we’ve got a treat for you, then: Daniel Berkowitz, founder of AuthorPop and a digital services consultant, grants you permission to ditch Twitter.

To be clear, he doesn’t have anything against Twitter; he’s just suggesting that authors who vastly prefer other social media outlets go ahead and focus on those instead.

Berkowitz runs through the pros and cons of Twitter for authors, if you’re on the fence, at Jane Friedman’s blog.
