Demystifying Social Media for Authors
Anita Chapman launched Neetsmarketing in 2014, and since then has worked with a number of authors published by the ‘Big Five’ and smaller presses, as well as with indie authors. Clients have included Nicola Cornick, Celia Rees, Sue Moorcroft, Anna Belfrage, Lucy Martin, Claire Dyer, Jane Corry, and Hannah Gold. Read endorsements here.
Often, when a debut author signs with a publisher or makes the decision to self-publish, they find they’re suddenly expected to know what happens in the run up to publication day, and how to use social media successfully. Or, an author has been using social media for years, but would like to get more engagement. This is where Anita can help.
‘Anita is professional, efficient and extremely knowledgeable.’
Nicola Cornick
For new clients, Anita offers an initial Zoom call and social media plan, tailored to them. After this, ad hoc calls can be booked at Anita’s hourly rate. Anita is currently taking bookings for Zoom calls with Neets – a one-to-one seventy-five minute Q&A Zoom call for £75. Find out more about working with Anita here.

‘Anita is professional, efficient and extremely knowledgeable.’
Nicola Cornick
With Anita’s initial Zoom call and social media plan, advice will vary depending on brand and genre, how much support the author receives from their publisher, experience of using social media; and so on.
‘In my writing life, consulting Anita is one of the best things I have ever done.’
Celia Rees
As well as covering brand and reaching potential readers, Anita gives practical, hands-on advice on how to actually go about building a network online, and she will explain how to create content that gets engagement. Some clients need training on for example scheduling tweets or creating an Instagram story. Aware that social media for authors shouldn’t all be about ‘Buy my Book’, she helps clients work out what to post and how much; where to focus efforts, and what is a waste of time, leaving more hours for writing.

‘Asking Anita to write me a social media plan was a revelation.’
Sue Moorcroft
Anita has worked with authors at all levels, ranging from absolute beginners to those who’ve been using social media for a number of years and are looking for a way to revamp their online presence. Her goal is always to find a way for clients to enjoy using social media as well as make it meaningful because this usually shows, leading to more success.
‘I am absolutely delighted with Anita’s work.’
