A Novel Approach (To Me)

I found a great article in the Huffington Post by David Henry Sterry that talks about how important it is for an author to have a Facebook fan page.  The article addresses questions like:

• How many fans is enough to impress a publisher?
• Should I set up a fan page for my book or or just use my personal page?
• When should I set up my facebook page–when I start writing/once I have a deal/once my book comes out?
• How often should I communicate via facebook? What is too much?
• I’m worried about privacy issues.  What should I do?
• Should I put up pictures? Video? What kind of pictures should I load into my profile?

The article also links to other useful information like what are the essential elements of an Author page and facebook settings that you need to be aware of.  If you are a writer I recommend checking it out.
