Episode 5: Your Favorite D.C. Bookstagrammers w/ @Lupita.Reads and @SpinesVines
Manage episode 243862928 series 2553238
Earlier this year, a piece in The Chicago Tribune summed up the world of bookstagram as "addicting, charming, informative and increasingly, a wellspring for the book industry."
Not a bad way to describe this literary and social media phenomenon.
About much more than colorful covers, perfectly positioned photos and engaging captions, #bookstagram, #bookstragramming and #bookstragrammers are changing the way we find and talk about books, and how publishers and authors connect with readers.
On this episode Live From The Library, we learn from D.C.'s Lupita Aquino (@Lupita.Reads) and Jamise Harper (@SpinesVines):
- How they use Instagram to successfully share and communicate their love for reading, creative writing, and authors of color.
- What they love most about using social media to connect with other readers.
- The impetus and mission of @LitonHSt -- their in-person and online bookclub with Solid State Books.
