@laurenthomanwrites: Still one of the best pieces of advice for a career as an author I’ve ever received. (From Court C. Stevens, several of whose books you might spot in this video.) #authorsoftiktok #authortok #BookTok #writingcommunity #authortips #acknowledgements #writinglife #authorlife
This!! Making friendships not connections is everything! I started as a reader/reviewer,arc & street team member, never planned to write. One of those authors pushed me to publish.

This is what I hope to build in the coming years. I’m joining a local writers group in the hopes of laying the foundation.

Great advice. As authors we have to be patient. Write because you have passion for it not for profit alone.

That is so beautiful. It is so hard to find support when there aren’t many other writers around or bookish events. But tiktok really helps to find people around us.

Yeah, you must not live in my neck of Iowa. 😅 Good advice for bigger cities. Start or join a local writers group if you happen to be in a smaller city, like sub 100k.
