Social media strategist Tricia Lawrence is CEO of real/brilliant, inc. Tricia is also an instructor for Writer's Digest University, teaching social media marketing for authors. Tricia has been mediating between authors and editors for fifteen years, first as a production-based copyeditor and proofreader and then as a publishing marketing expert. Since 2000, Tricia has been advising authors about queries, book proposals, and branding. A huge fan of blogging as a brand-builder, Tricia hopes that every author and writer will someday be online and using social media. “If you want to be seen by the most people, show off your knowledge and expert status, and connect with like-minded folks who will then share you with their friends, there is no better form of media than social media.” Tricia blogs at http://www.realbrilliant.com, offers free and low-priced marketing courses and newsletters for authors and journalists (Please Write Like You Talk and For Authors Only), talks on Twitter (@realbrilliant), and is the author/co-author of eight books published in the past decade.
