Red Room is the best PR I've ever gotten for my writing career. They have a built-in and growing audience. I've found new friends and new readers on Red Room. Since joining, I've had more than 100,000 readers visit my Red Room profile. It's a way to get and keep my name out there without spending a fortune.

For the kind of books I write, I need and enjoy getting new ideas directly from readers. Sometimes those readers wind up in my next book. On Red Room, I can make connections with the readers and the other writers I’m interested in connecting with. Red Room brings us together in an authentic community.

I lost my blog virginity on Red Room. It's a great hangout for writers, bloggers, and blog voyeurs. There’s no dress code—glam to goofy is fine—and drinks are ‘round the clock, on the house. It’s amazing what writers will say when there are no editors around to keep them presentable. That’s the Red Room effect.

At the Red Room, I've found a wonderful, vibrant, intellectually and politically engaged community that reads, writes, opines. This makes the Red Room a fabulous combination of a literary salon, a support group, and a favourite pub. It's international, too; I'm in India chatting with writers in London.

Red Room feels more like being at your best friend’s dinner party than like sitting at the computer—it’s fun, it’s entertaining. I like to know what publishing industry folks think, what other writers think. I’m a big reader, too, and on Red Room I can find out what people all over the world are reading and writing.

For years I resisted blogging like the plague—in part, because it was difficult to find a place where I could blog, and post full essays, videos, full-display book announcements. Red Room is now my official online home, providing a one-stop-shop for readers of my work. And bringing me new readers.
