Roxane Gay: Not everyone loves Roxane's twitter feed...she posts quite a bit, and definitely doesn't let people get away with talking back to her. But I find her voice incredibly smart and often very funny (and sometimes not, but that's everyone, right?).
Celeste Ng: She posts quite a bit not just about her books/books in general but also about the news and our world and I really enjoy reading what she has to say.
Connor Goldsmith: He's a literary agent who does a lot of A+ pop culture tweeting alongside stuff about his work.
Anne Theriault: I think she has written a book, but she also writes longform articles (my favorites are about old-school royalty, Queens of Infamy) and tweets frequently about her life, her mental health, and her son, who sounds like a great kid!
Mignon Fogarty: She's Grammar Girl, so obviously a great resource, but I have to give an extra special shout-out to a fellow Northern Nevadan!
Maris Kreizman: She created the truly fantastic Slaughterhouse 90210 tumblr (and book!), was on staff of Book of the Month for a while there, and remains in the general literary realm. I don't always agree with her taste in books but she always has something interesting to say!
Alexandra Petri: Columnist, author, hilarious.
Rachel Hawkins: Her Sexy History twitter series was fantastic, both laugh-out-loud and informative. I also enjoy her tweets about the realities of being an author!
Celeste Ng sounds like a great person to follow.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these authors before, but I'll definitely be checking them out! Sexy history, you say? Hmmm. Oh oh oh! I do know Mignon Fogarty! I just didn't know her name. xD Oh gosh, Grammar Girl books and site have been a life-saver for me on many occasions. I am for sure following her now. Thanks for the list!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post.
Grammar Girl is so awesome. And here is one of my fave Sexy History threads, on Owen Tudor: https://twitter.com/LadyHawkins/status/899971908002820097
