Episode 9: Authors and social media (with special guests Natasha Lester and Jack Heath)

Rachael Johns decided to scale back her presence on social media for a little while - not leaving it entirely but restricting how much time she spent on it. With two books to write this year, it's no surprise she needed the time. The surprise came when around the same time as she made that decision she discovered that fellow Western Australian and international bestselling author Natasha Lester made a similar decision, and so did so did Jack Heath, prolific author of books for children and adults.So Rach suggested that we invite Natasha and Jack come on the podcast to discuss this with us, and a lively and highly interesting discussion ensued. Whether you're an author wondering if you need to build a social media presence or scale back the one you have, or just generally wondering about it, we hope you'll find what we have to say thought-provoking. Books mentioned:Stolen Focus by Johann HariDoppelganger by Naomi KleinFor more about Rachael Johns: https://www.rachaeljohns.comRachael's latest book is The Other BridgetHer next book is The Work Wife (to be published in January 2025)For more about Sophie Green: https://sophie-green-author.comSophie's latest book is Weekends with the Sunshine Gardening SocietyHer next book is Art Hour at the Duchess Hotel (to be published in August 2024)For more information about Rachael Johns: https://www.rachaeljohns.comFor more informationabout Sophie Green: https://sophiegreenauthor.comSubscribe on Spotify Subscribe on AppleSubscribe on YouTube Hosted on Acast.
