10 Twitter Hashtags for Writers

You don’t have to look far to find a writer on Twitter. They’re online constantly, dipping out of writing sessions to tweet about their latest character development or to enthusiastically retweet links encouraging followers to read their friends’ novels. Twitter for writers is a supportive community, there’s no doubt about it.
Whether you’re just starting out on Twitter, or you’re a well-versed tweeter looking to connect with more likeminded writers and readers, here are 20 Twitter hashtags for writers that will help you to expand your reach faster.
1. #AmWriting

Including a link, an image, or a line from your project will help your tweet to stand out.
7. #NaNoWriMo
National Novel Writing Month. You’ve probably already heard about it, but if not—well, you probably don’t use Twitter much. Throughout November each year, this hashtag is a at the tail end of a crazy number of tweets. You’ll see variants like #CampNano crop up earlier in the year, too.
