Happy 2013! If you’re an astute Writerland reader, you noticed that I took a break from social media over the holidays. I didn’t blog, I didn’t tweet, I didn’t Facebook or Google+ or pin. I played Angry Birds (the board game, not the iPhone app), Rush Hour, and Munchkin, I solved the Perplexus Rookie […] January 9th, 2013 | Tags: Blogger, blogging, blogging class, Blogging for Beginners, Facebook, freelance editor, Google, Meghan Ward, San Francisco editor, San Francisco Writers' Grotto, SF Grotto, Social Media, social networking, Twitter, Writerland | Category: Self-Publishing, Social Media, The Author Platform, Writing | 22 comments - (Comments are closed) Last month I registered for the BlogHer 13 conference, which will take place in Chicago July 25-27 of next year, and I’m very excited!

It will be in Chicago, Thursday through Saturday, July 25-27, of—you guessed it—2013. Early Bird registration ends Nov. 7. Until then you can register for half the regular price, just $198!

Can I just google images and use those?” The answer is yes, you can, but no, you may not. Because any image you find on the Internet may be […] June 21st, 2012 | Tags: Bay Area editors, Blogger, bloggers, blogging, Clip Art, Creative Commons, freelance editors, iStockPhoto, Meghan Ward, photos, San Francisco editors, San Francisco Writers' Grotto, SF Grotto, ShutterStock, Social Media, social networking, Stock.XChng, websites, Wordpress, Writerland | Category: Marketing, Social Media, The Author Platform, Writing | 122 comments - (Comments are closed) I was a Klout junkie. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was reach for my iPad and check my Klout score to see if it had gone up a point since the previous night (scores apparently change in the middle of the night). I’m a casual gamer (Settlers of […] November 8th, 2011 | Tags: Bay Area editors, Blogger, blogging, blogs, Facebook, Google, Klout, Linked In, Meghan Ward, publising, Social Media, Social Media classes, social media influence scores, social networking, Sprout Social, Tumblr, Twitter, Wordpress, Writerland, Writing | Category: Marketing, Social Media, The Author Platform, Writing | 40 comments - (Comments are closed) The weekend before last, I attended a publishing panel at the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto during which literary agent Andy Ross of the Andy Ross Literary Agency said, “Publishers say they expect you to blog and to use social media.

I know that when I get two comments on my Link Love posts (and one of them is mine) I want to stop posting links—partly because I feel it’s a waste of time if people aren’t […] April 19th, 2011 | Tags: Anastasia Villareal, Blogger, Christine Lee Zilka, Editing, Elizabeth Browne, Facebook, Klout, Kristan Hoffman, Meghan Ward, Memoir, Publishing, Twitter, Writing | Category: Marketing, Publishing, Reading, Social Media, The Author Platform | 33 comments - (Comments are closed) In addition to my regularly scheduled post this week, I’d like to announce the first ever Writerland Pledge Drive!
