One of the best things about Twitter (X), was the vibrant writing community. With just a hashtag you could find writers, hear about submission opportunities, announce new published works, and get support.

There are still a good number of writers on twitter but daily usage is down and the algorithms have changed. The end result: it’s more and more difficult to make connections and engage.

Tangled Locks Journal has been building a presence on many of the social media platforms and Bluesky Social is one of our favorites. It has a quirky creative community that is growing. But it can be difficult to find other writers.

The trick is to use the feeds function and subscribe to a few. Then, when you log in, you can quickly view new posts filtered by your interest. Just a quick search for “writer” in BlueSky popped a writing community feed, game writers, black writers, horror writing, and many more.

We will be subscribing to a writing related feeds over the next few days to connect with more writers.

You can create your own feeds too!

Let’s connect on BlueSky!
