Instagram Stories for Writers

I have been having a fun time exploring Instagram Stories for the last couple of months. Before that, I had no idea how writers could use it.

In this blog post, I will discuss what Instagram Stories is, some trends, writers that are using it well, and my strategies that I have been experimenting with. By the end of the article, you should have some clear ideas on what to post on Insta Stories.

Authors as bookstagrammers?

I have done some initial research into bookstagram for authors and think it just might be a good fit for me. This journey continues my Instagram for writers kick for the last couple of months. I've figured out Reels, IG Live, and what to post as a writer.

IG Live for Writers

IG Live or Instagram Live has actually been around since 2016. However, with the pandemic and the amount of people online and not able to go to events, its importance has increased. Instagram also added a new feature where IG Livestreams can now be saved to an IGTV video instead of disappearing from your stories after 24 hours. This just happened in May 2020, which allows the live videos to have more multi-purposed uses.

Instagram Reels for Writers

Instagram Reels launched on August 5, 2020 in fifty countries around the world. I immediately started looking for posting ideas for Instagram Reels for writers and didn't find much. I have not dipped my toe into the similar app of TikTok at all, so I figured I would do my research and write a blog about Instagram Reels to figure it out. I wrote a blog post several months ago about Instagram posting ideas for writers and that pushed me to come up with ideas for the photo-only side of things. A huge perk of having a writing blog!
