Jump on the Pinterest bandwagon

Are you on Pinterest? If not, consider joining the social pinboarding site. It's way fun and another avenue to promote you and your work. Random House is among the publishers who are active on Pinterest. It's created boards ranging from Favorite Books from Our Childhood to Killer Coffee Books.

As an author, you can use Pinterest to promote you and your work. Here are some of the boards I've created:

Books I've read in 2012

Author Buffy Andrews  (This would look way cooler if I had real book covers!)

AKA Literary  (I will modify the settings on this board to allow others from agency to pin to it)

Old books

Bookshelves

Think Pink

Lime-tastic

Buffy's World Campaign

Joe Paterno

Joe Paterno newspaper front pages

Smart magazine (My team produces this bi-monthly glossy women's magazine)

Smart magazine Valentine's Contest

I also post as YDR on Pinterest. Here are some of the boards I created under this account:

Vacation with YDR

Sharp-dressed shoes contest

Pets in Halloween costumes

As you can see, the possibilities are endless. You could create a board with covers of your fave books or a board for the items that inspire you in your writing journey. 

If you're on Pinterest, do you have any tips to share?
