I had the pleasure of speaking with Bethanne Patrick, who has a longtime presence in the publishing world, is the Founder of the Twitter hashtag #FridayReads, and is the Editor at Shelf Awareness.
We discussed:
- The origins, growth and evolution of #FridayReads
- The necessity and challenge of reaching out to readers
- How she amassed more than 100,000 Twitter followers
- Why authors need to be entrepreneurs, balancing writing and marketing
… and many other topics. Please watch the video below to hear our conversation.

Thanks so much to Bethanne for chatting!
