@cavalcar hi!

O algoritmo do meu Twitter tá péssimo. Queria alcançar mais escritores, leitores, livreiros, editores, todo mundo que ama livros. Se você também faz parte do universo dos livros, deixa um oi aqui para eu te seguir. 📚✨

@ItsJohnDulak I think it's quite difficult to gain traffic naturally, but I believe it's feasible to include website links in the biographies of published works; that's how I've seen many authors' websites as a literary magazine, hope this helps :)

I'm trying to build and work on my website, but I have no idea how to grow subscribers and get better traffic. I've SEO optimized as much as I can, but getting past that I'm kinda stumped. Any other authors have advice on this?

@DylanLloyd1 😍

My poem “Maze” has been published in a respected Canadian literary journal called @Exclamationlit The editors also had the opportunity to read “Coffee Walk Poetry” and gave it an incredible review — an amazing collection…philosophical without being dense, sincere throughout, and worth seeking out for readers drawn to quieter, introspective work. It means a great deal when respected voices in the literary world connect with what you’ve created. Thank you so much for sharing and reading my work! It means a lot to me! 🙏🏽
