Photography: Narrative Muse
In recent years, social networks have allowed writers to find alternative means of expression through which to make their texts known to the world. If a few years ago Twitter challenged artists to write their stories in just 140 characters, the fashion social network, Instagram, proposes to make a text in a simple square the most visual and instantaneous way to win over future readers. Some of the users know very well how to do it, and to show you we bring you these best writers accounts on Instagram that will conquer you.
Best Writer Accounts on Instagram
Rupee kaur
With 2.4 millions of followers, Rupi Kaur is one of the writers who has managed to get the best out of the fashion social network. Born in India but raised in Canada, this 2.0 poet began her journey by publishing her two books, Milk and honey and The sun and the flowers thanks to the different poems that she began to post on Instagram in 2014. For those who admire prose with feminist, romantic and racial touches, Kaur's gallery is a delight, although you can also find the photo with which her fame soared : a photographic project of the artist in which she appeared lying in bed leaving a trace of her menstruation. The photo was reported by Instagram and later returned to Kaur.
Last night reading
Social networks have confirmed the many avenues of expression that an artist can rely on when reaching new followers, and a good example is that of reader Kate Gavino. This young New York author and illustrator is in charge of read as many books as possible and, upon completion, publish a caricature of the author of the book accompanied by a phrase. A curious feed that can fit from Zadie Smith to Gabriel García Márquez, giving away an account that is a delight for readers around the world. Of course, Gavino's book based on this genius was soon published and is called Last Night's Readings: Illustrated Encounters with Extraordinary Authors.
Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie
The most revealing African author of this decade came to tell us stories of pain and feminism from her native Nigeria dazzling everyone and setting new standards in the literary diaspora. And although Chimamanda does not seem to like Instagram too much, her nieces Chisom, Amaka and Kamsi do manage her account on the social network. During these weeks, the writer has embarked on the Wear Nigeria project, in whose snapshots she appears wearing typical local dresses of her country, although she also hides literary gems for her most staunch fans.
Angie thomas
This American author became one of the great protagonists of 2017 after the success of her book, The hate you give (published in Spain by the publishing house GranTravesía), which was soon crowned as # 1 on The New York Times Bestseller List. Racial history for opportune times, the book has allowed Thomas to enjoy a fame that distills on Instagram with photographs of his publications and daily life that will enchant the discoverers of this writer. His next release, On the come up, will be released in May 2018.
Alfredo Manzur
For the last few weeks I have been following a writer on Instagram who is most inspiring. Under the name another writer, the Mexican Alfredo Manzur writes what he considers «napkin tales», or stories that he leaves written on napkins. This author's feed is characterized by photographs of all kinds, especially from his travels, accompanied by stories from his day-to-day life. Highly recommended.
Monica Carrillo
The popular presenter of Antena 3 is also a great writer who has taken advantage of the pull of Instagram to publish some of his micro-stories and promote his two books, La luz de Candela and El tiempo todo locura. The journalist has more than 55 thousand followers and among her snapshots there are moments with her colleagues or feminist demands.
Carlos Ruiz Zafón
The author of the saga The cemetery of forgotten books He started his career on Instagram a year and a half ago but already has more than 20 thousand followers on the social network. All lovers of Zafón's work will feel at home when discovering the author's photographic itinerary, especially in a city in Barcelona where he presents corners of his works accompanied by quotes from them. A wonderful journey through the bibliography of one of the most popular authors of our country.
Eloy Moreno
Desktop publishing has a lot to do with an Instagram social network in which authors find freedom to publish their writings. Eloy Moreno, author of The green gel pen, a success on Amazon after its publication, you know a lot about it. Author of other books such as Invisible, What I found under the sofa, The gift or Stories to understand the world, Moreno publishes publications of his workplaces, texts accompanying images of nature or yes, also of green pilot boxes.
Manuel Bartual
At the end of August 2017, a mysterious tweet on Manuel Bartual's account said “I've been on vacation for a couple of days, in a hotel near the beach. Everything was fine until strange things started to happen. Since then, Twitter got revolutionized without knowing that it was all about a narrative that this cartoonist and writer would spin through different micro-stories. Months later, Bartual continues to wage war on social networks, his Instagram account being the space in which he takes the opportunity to share photographs of interesting press conferences, writings or some of his cartoons.
Carme Chaparro
With more than 81 thousand followers on Instagram, Carme Chaparro is one of the most active writers on Instagram. Presenter of Noticias de 4, the journalist recently won the Primavera Award and has turned her book, I am not a monster, into a hits editorial. Defender of women's rights above all else, Chaparro is pure inspiration.

Hi! I am Ana Cañete (@ana_bolboreta on Instagram and recently @anabolboretawrite on Facebook and @ anabolboreta1 on Twitter) and I would like to tell you about my book, «Aparta, que no me ver!». It is a romantic comedy that has managed to be number 1 in the Amazon youth category, 30 in romantic and below 70 in general in just ten days.
Since it came out it has been having a very good acceptance and this week the second edition is coming out and, if you feel like it, I would love for you to take a look at it.
It is published by Malbec Ediciones and you can find more information on its website and also on Amazon.
Thank you very much for your time and best regards.
-It can be read for free on KindleUnlimited
- I also really like writing poetry.
I think Jordi verdaguer Vila sivill's account is very creative and interesting and worth mentioning.
is insta_top_writer
I just created an account on Instagram, to publish my own photos, accompanied by fragments of poems alluding to the theme of each image. I encourage you to follow it and be inspired by the visual product and the lyrical message: fonsitesorprende
One of the best is @juanpelb from Colombia, and the @literland page
There is an account of a man, his name is @juanpelb, it is not monothematic but touches on many topics. It sweeps away a lot of the writers they mention. The same for @whatapoem Mexicana Laura Soto. We are two favorite accounts.
