*Join Twitter -- follow agents, editors, authors, fellow writers (and a few celebrities if you want!)
*Join Facebook -- find writers, favorite authors, publishing houses, etc. and receive up-to-date announcements on events, contests, giveaways, book tours, etc.
*Join LinkedIn and become part of the book publishing community, ebooks, children's writers group, etc. The more connections and relationships you foster, the more you learn about the growing industry. Networking is key!
