300 Seconds: Congratulatory Tweets
Have you tweeted lately? Sometimes deciding what to send out can be as daunting as actually sending it. Why not send a congratulatory note to literary prize nominees? It will draw your follower’s attention to these books and it’s just a nice thing to do.
Here are the Kirkus Prize nominees for Fiction, Nonfiction, and Young Readers’ Literature. If the author has a Twitter account (that I could find) you can go to it by clicking the link beside the author. If the author doesn’t have a Twitter account, I’ve linked to the publisher’s account.
