I love books, and I’m fascinated by the people who write them – those seemingly magical people with amazing creative minds who can weave stories and transport readers into other worlds.
Over the past few years I’ve begun to find more and more authors online. Not only have I been able to find out additional information about books this way, like extra chapters, character interviews, and book trailers, but there’s also advance notice of new releases, giveaways and other fun information.
Some authors share more than others, though. Some seem to be naturally open, while others are more reticent or, despite writing fantastic books, their posts are less family-friendly.
So here are my very favorite authors to follow online. Find their Facebook pages, websites, or subscribe to their newsletters to stay on top of the best information.
- Chris Grabenstein is not only a New York Times’ bestselling author, but he writes hilarious posts. Sure, he shares a lot of fan emails and award information, but he also showcases behind-the-scenes author info. Even better, his dog Fred is a Broadway star and has his own Facebook page. Both are just as funny as Grabenstein’s books.
- Suzanne Woods Fisher writes for both adults and tweens, and she shares beautiful memes, as well as information about the Guide Dogs she raises.
- Tricia Goyer currently has her house full and is homeschooling a wide age range. She shares homeschooling information, book sales, and great resources for parents.
- Colleen Coble stays personal on her page. With lots of information about her family and mission trips, as well as upcoming book projects, her posts are always interesting.
- Robin Lee Hatcher doesn’t share as often as the others, but she stays personal, too. With information about her fitness goals, Bible journaling, and college classes, she’s an author who lets you know her.
