Hey there friends. We know we disappeared for half a year and we are so sorry about that. The 2nd half of 2022 ended up being quite hard and busy. Stephanie is expecting baby number 3 and published book 3. Liz published her first book (A Christmas romance anthology) and has been working on her next books and season 2 of her calamitycast audiodrama Spacemerica. Speaking of, we have very sad news regarding co-founder of CC and audio engineer (among many other roles like co-writer of Spacemerica with Liz) Daniel Williams passed away in August which is a big reason Liz hasn’t been podcasting.

We recorded this episode right before Christmas and I totally meant for it to be available a few weeks ago. Here’s to 2023 and being more on top of things.

Dick of the Week episode 56 is all about social media! Whether you’re a reader or a writer, (or both!) social media plays a rather large role in finding, selling, and talking about romance novels.

Social media, regardless of your age, tends to inform you of certain trends and popular books or authors. Tiktok is a major player right now for making audiences discover books they might not have known before (see our last episode about Ice Planet Barbarians for a good example!). Major bookstores like Barnes and Noble have #booktok table displays for books that gain popularity on that app.

Whether you’re an active member in a romance Facebook group, an Indie author trying to sell your books, or just a general book lover scrolling Tiktok, social media is both an amazing recourse and overwhelming AF.

Join Liz and Stephanie while they try to navigate through it all on this week’s episode of DICK OF THE WEEK!
