Engaging with your Radish readers on social media

As soon as you’ve published an episode, tell your readers about it!

Share your episode links on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), your newsletter, or any of your other existing writer platforms every time an episode releases. If you’re part of a writing community, reach out and cross-promote each other’s work. You can find your episode links in Radish at the top of your story’s page and in Writer’s Web.  

Use our Author’s Notes to start conversations with your readers. Prompt discussions and generate excitement with your readers by sharing your social media handles. You can get feedback from your reader base instantly without having to wait.

Tweet us! Tag @Radish_Fiction when you share your episode link so we can like your post.
