Hashtags

Hashtags for writers

Use these hashtags for writers for poems, stories, notes on craft and the long days at a desk. Writers fill the same tags with quotes and word-count screenshots, so #writer on its own rarely leads readers to you. Tags for the genre, the stage of the work and the writing community help people who read or write the same things find you.

Using these hashtags well

  • Tag the genre you write

    #romancewriter or #hindikahani reaches readers and peers in your genre. #writer is used by everyone who has typed a sentence.

  • Post progress with stage tags

    Tags like #firstdraft and #editingprocess find people at the same stage, who often give useful company.

  • Keep launches and daily posts separate

    A launch post suits #booklaunch and #newbook. Daily writing posts suit habit tags. Do not mix both in one set.
