<![CDATA[How active is Mastodon for authors and narrators?]]>How active is Mastodon for authors and narrators? I'm still trying to get a feel for this space. Aside from and , what are other good hashtags to follow? Does anyone post casting calls here? (I've heard that's a big thing on the bird site, but I'm not going back there.)
Please boost for reach!

Still, check us out. Lots of folks here who might be interested in your work.

Check out the instance I'm on (writing.exchange), we're mostly all writers of one description or several others. Some further hashtags to look at would include 'AmWriting,' 'WritersOfMastodon,' and 'WritingCommunity.'

Sorry, don't know squat about casting calls. 😎

If you'd like an invite to wandering.shop, I'm a front of house person - official welcomer type. We're heavy in creative people, with a good number of authors, so it might be a better fit for you than mastodon.social.

Let me know!

There's also a group (!@bookstodon) which you can follow. If you tag the group (remove the ! in front) then that post gets boosted.

I remember casting calls from the bird site, before it was Musked.

Sadly, I haven't found any here.
