BONUS MATERIAL for Debbie's PYI 2014 workshop
Last updated October 19, 2014
The following are links and resources I mentioned during my PYI workshop as well as some extra references I used doing my research.
ADDED October 19, 2014: I promised to add links to some examples of pre-published writers and/or illustrators whom I thought were doing an excellent job re: social media content/personal branding. Here are just a few so far (I'm avoiding personal FB since in most cases you'd need to be FB friends to see their feed), but I'll try add more as I come across them: Akiko White (author/illustrator - cakelustrator!), Kathy Ellen Davis (writer on Twitter, fun pro-reading posts on her FB Pro Page, Instagram).
