Social media maven Trish Bittman will discuss the benefits of social media for writers at her seminar “A Writer’s Guide to Social Media: Building your brand an hour a day through social networking,” at the next Field’s End Writers’ Roundtable.

The roundtable is 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15 at the Bainbridge Public Library.

A writer, blogger and social media professional, Bittman will explain why writers should use social networking to promote their writing.

A frequent user of Facebook, Twitter and other social media, she will discuss how writers can build their brand in just one hour a day.

Bittman moved to Bainbridge Island after discovering it on the Internet. Life on the island has turned out to be all she hoped it would be and more. She is a freelance writer, a social media manager for several companies and a regular contributor to Bainbridge Island Magazine. She is also the writer and creator of the blog “3 Kids and a Breakdown” (www.3kidsandabreakdown.com).
