Welcome to Austenesque Extravaganza, a month-long celebration of Austenesque novels and authors! My name is Meredith Esparza, and I'm an ardent admirer of Austenesque novels and your host for this month-long tribute to Austenesque novels and authors.
Today's Austenesque Event is: SOCIABLE SUNDAY
- For this event readers will receive the opportunity to enjoy a lovely tête-à-tête with several special Austenesque Authors. Each week features a different group of authors.
Our Sociable Sunday Twitter Party will reconvene later today on @ 4:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time.
Today's Special Austenesque Guests include:
- Emily C. A. Snyder - @emilycasnyder
- Karen Doornebos - @karendoornebos

HOW TO PARTCIPATE IN THIS TWITTER PARTY:
- Create a free twitter account for yourself (if you haven't done so already)
- Log in TODAY @ 4:00 Eastern Standard Time
- Search for our party's hashtag #AUSTENESQUE
- Use this hashtag for every post you create (it enables everyone participating in the chat to see what you say)

- Have FUN Chattin' It Up!!!
Our Twitter Party tête-à-tête will be approximately ONE hour in length. We hope to see many of you there. This is an open party and everyone is invited!

ReplyDelete@newberry03
That was fun! I'm still trying to improve my Twitter skills, I feel like Im too slow, and my phone does not automatically update the chat Lol Anyone have any tips?
ReplyDeleteMeredith, it was another blast! thank you so much for sharing your hospitality with us! absolutely FuN! deliteful authors and attendees + lots of insider news on upcoming publishing and projects on the go. excellent twitter partying ")) TY!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Twittering :-)
ReplyDeleteok for tips that work for me - first thing i do is click follow on all the authors participating, then into #austenesque which gives me running tweets that aren't too many to follow, that i can click reply w/o beginning a new comment - quicker that way - also have #austenesque copied so you can right click it into your tweet at the end of your 'reply'.
ReplyDeletehoping that's clear/understandable ?
participating makes it easier ea time! and just take time to enjoy reading your fellow party-ers thoughts "))
That was a great chat. I loved meeting some writers and Janeites I haven't connected with before, and I hope some of the ones who were new to Twitter will stick around after the Extravaganza.
ReplyDeletecheck @_eHope's twitter account for participation in today's sociable - sorry if you didn't catch any commenting but i did have a great time w/ twitterers who did ")) many thx!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cherrytea! I will try it that way next week :)
ReplyDeleteFaith Hope Cherrytea, thanks for the tips. I am new to twitter (as of last Sunday). I will try your tips for the next Sociable Sunday if I can figure out exactly what you described! :)

Meredith, would you care to post the extracts of the twitter conversation after it is over? This is for the benefit for those who don't tweet or can't make it (like me).
ReplyDeleteShame I couldn't make this would, would have loved to.
ReplyDeleteWhat Luthien84 said. I'm not a twitterer, but it would be interesting to know what's talked about. Maybe like a summary, best comments, etc...
ReplyDeleteI may have to break down and get twitter.
ReplyDeleteAw man, I missed it. :( This is what one gets for taking a vacation during the Austenesque Extravaganza!!
