Twitter Backgrounds for Writers


Twitter is one of the power-houses of social media and a popular site for writers. Whether you're using it to connect with other writers, build relationships with your fans or for book promotion, a writer-themed background will add some flair to your profile.


How to change your twitter background:


  • Log into Twitter.
  • Go to "Edit profile" on the top right side of your page
  • Click on "Design"
  • Scroll down to the section "customise your own" and upload your background image from your computer.
  • Click "Save changes"
  • Your new background will now show on your profile.


Free Writer-themed backgrounds:

Wine Press of Words have put together an excellent post with a selection of writer-themed backgrounds that you can download and use free of charge on your Twitter profiles. A bit of everything from desktops to typewriters to books and paper and pens.

Make your own:

You can of course make your own background using a graphics program and personalise it completely. I used Adobe Illustrator to create my background image so that it fitted with the rest of my online branding.

Have you personalised your twitter background? Did you make it yourself or use a template?

      Thanks David :)

      Personalising your Twitter profile is a great way to have more visual impact on tweeters and shows that you're not just another "egg". It's also a shame to waste such a great space for additional marketing ;)

I love to hear from you. So feel free to comment, but keep in mind the basics of blog etiquette — no spam, no profanity, no slander, etc.
