In this episode of Three Lesbians and a Pen, bestselling authors Kimberly Todd, KC Luck, and Jamey Moody explore the complicated and sometimes frustrating world of social media for authors. KC shares how Facebook helped launch her career and why it remains her primary platform, even as she experiments with Bluesky and Instagram. Jamey opens up about her love-hate relationship with social media, explaining why posts featuring her dog Leo get the most attention and why she’s hesitant to commit to platforms like TikTok. Kimberly talks about her struggle with social media content and why creating engaging posts doesn’t come naturally to her—though she’s determined to give Bluesky a real shot.

The hosts discuss the value of personal connection on social media versus the pressure to constantly produce content. They dive into whether social media actually drives book sales, with KC revealing that her newsletter consistently outperforms social media posts when it comes to generating pre-orders and sales. They also cover the do's and don’ts of author social media etiquette, including why “drive-by” promo posts are a bad idea, the importance of authenticity, and why hiring a virtual assistant might not be the magic solution some authors hope for.

Along the way, they share funny and awkward social media moments, from Kimberly’s yawning during the podcast (yes, they left it in!) to Jamey’s niece’s brutal honesty about her early TikTok attempts. It’s an honest and relatable conversation about the ups and downs of being an author in the digital age.
