I’ve been making a more concerted effort to be active on Twitter. I’m trying to make connections, share information that I have, re-tweet good information, and make sure that people are aware how thankful I am for their efforts.
It’s really amazing what a great community there is out there. Freelance writers are pretty awesome. Social media people, too, but I’m going to focus on the freelance writers today.
So, if you’re on Twitter, here’s my recommendation for the Top Ten Freelance Writers you should follow on Twitter:
- @SHurleyHall – if a freelance writer ever had a fan I would be Sharon’s! LOL – But seriously, I look up to her because she was the first person (other than friends and family) to believe in me as a writer. She’s a great person and goes out of her way to be helpful.
- @FreelanceWJ – this is really an online writing site but if you want to get jobs with private clients you should be following them. Not to mention the great info, of course!
- @rjleaman – Rebecca is becoming one of my favorite Twitter peeps because she communicates so well. She love the conversation!
- @copyblogger – if you don’t know Brian yet it is time for you to get to know him. He’s full of great insights!
- @suejeff – Sue makes me smile. And she’s such a busy little bee!
- @DanaPrince – can’t go without out mentioning my fellow Canadian, Dana. I’ve watched her grow over the years and she’s pretty amazing!
- @MenWithPens – James Chartrand is one of the “guys” behind the MenWithPens site. I think what “he” has done is absolutely amazing. And don’t ask me why I’m putting things in quotes. Go to the twitter and then to the main site and do some reading – you’ll figure it out.
- @AnneWayman – job leads, knowledge, and years of experience – if you’re going to follow someone she’s go to be the one!
- @FreelanceFolder – freelancers of all kinds can benefit from their knowledge!
- @cathymiller – one of my newest freelance writing friends!
There are loads of freelance writers on Twitter and this little list should give you a start. If that’s not enough, check out some of your favorite writer’s Twitter lists – there are loads of them with some great people to follow!

I'm a social media junkie and professional freelance writer living in small town Manitoba, Canada. I drink a lot of coffee and love my computer (named Garcia after Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds - the ultimate girl geek!), my kids, my husband, and my cats. In 10 years I hope to be that crazy lady travelling across Canada and the States with her three cats and her loving hubby. :) If you're interested in my professional services please visit my professional writer's site to find out more about my services or check out some testimonials from some of my clients.

Do you love the look of this blog? Want your blog to look this hot? Then I'll tell you my secret! First, the blog theme I use is Thesis. It is very customizable PLUS it is great for your on page SEO!
Second, I'm using a blog skin (strangely enough it is called Blog Skin) from Thesis Awesome.
The combination of these two great blogging tools makes it easy for me to change up the look of my blog. I have to warn you though - using Thesis may turn you into a Thesis snob! It did for me!
