Hey there, word nerds! Thanks for joining me for today\\u2019s episode of DIY MFA Radio. Today we\\u2019re going to talk about a super important topic for any author: Social Media. Social media can be tricky for writers because there\\u2019s so much to wrap your head around. We\\u2019re going to talk about the nuts and bolts, basic information that you can put into practice right away.

Social media, for better or worse, is here to stay. It\\u2019s fully integrated into our lives and has changed the way we communicate radically. As writers, our best approach is to embrace the opportunities that social media affords us, rather than trying to fight against it. In this episode, I\\u2019ll give you 7 steps to help you get a handle on social media, but in a way that\'s totally doable and won\'t take over your life.

Most importantly, if you\\u2019re just learning these platforms, be gentle with yourself. Social media is constantly changing. You don\'t have to do all of it, or get everything perfect right away. You just need to understand enough so that you can use social media to bolster your writing career.
