The Authors Show® Announces New Social Media Program To Support Indie Authors During Coronavirus Pandemic

    WILMINGTON, NC, March 25, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Danielle Hampson, Executive Producer of "The Authors Show®", has announced a new social media campaign to help support Indie Authors during the Coronavirus pandemic.

With physical interaction now limited, travel restrictions and more people in need to stay home, the world is more than ever using social media to remain connected. This offers a great opportunity for authors to make the public aware of their work. To help with that effort "The Authors Show" has launched its Stuck at Home? Read a Book social media posting campaign to promote reading during this world crisis, while enhancing exposure for Indie Authors' books.

Using the hashtags #StuckAtHomeReadABook and #ReadABook, the social media campaign will assist authors on The Authors Show's broadcast schedule in making the public aware of reading books written by Indie Authors. This is a win-win for both authors and readers.

"Millions are currently 'stuck at home' with lots of time on their hands," Hampson stated. "Reading books is entertaining, educational, and, for those with children, reading books with them is great quality time. Many Indie Authors are excellent writers so let's use this time to support them by buying and reading their books! Let's take advantage of technology by purchasing online from our individual favorite outlets for either shipping to our homes, for download to our digital readers and let's remember audio books too! It is a simple thing to do and is a win-win: we will enjoy reading books from authors we may have never heard of before, and we will help them in the process."

In addition to The Authors Show's campaign, authors scheduled for broadcast on the site will receive social media banners they may utilize in their own campaigns.

Everyone, whether writer, reader or both, is encouraged to use these hashtags -#StuckAtHomeReadABook and #ReadABook in support of Indie authors.

More information on the author support campaign is available at http://www.TheAuthorsShow.com. Questions about the campaign should be submitted to [email protected].

"The Authors Show" is a publishing industry podcasting pioneer producing author interviews since 2005. The program offers participants three major benefits:

1. The production of a professionally edited audio and/or video tool showcasing participating authors and their book(s);

2. Participating authors are included in The Authors Show's substantial weekly social media outreach;

3. The show shares with participants its own pool of readers by broadcasting their interview on its online network, putting their work in front of thousands of potential book buyers around the world that authors would otherwise not reach.

4. Selected interviews are also archived on The Authors Show's iPhone app, on multiple major audio platforms, as well as on Amazon Fire TV and the Roku Channel.
