Should you be writing long Facebook posts? Do you need an author page? What should you post on Instagram? How do you make a reel and what should you be making them about? What other platforms exist and how do I find other writers and a writing community? Asha will cover all this and more. Come along with questions, suggestions, and a voracious curiosity!
