I’m Barely Interesting Enough For One Twitter Account

Kevin Fenton — Fri, 07 May 2010 19:12:04 +0000

I’ll be shutting kevinfentonbiz soon. My business is doing great. I don’t feel the need for a dedicated business account, and I do feel the need to focus my social media efforts on the promotion of my forthcoming novel, Merit Badges. I’m still interested in social media and advertising, and will tweet about those things, but the personal account also pokes its nose in books, music, movies, and life in St Paul.

I’ve written a white paper acknowledging the skepticism around Twitter, making the case for Twitter, exploring the pitfalls of this new media, and exploring how it can help enhance your marketing and expand your capabilities. Click on the link above to download.

About Me. And, I Hope, About You.

My name is Kevin Fenton.

My professional self:

I write and sometimes creative-direct ads, web sites, brochures, posters, and what not. I have worked in the business for slightly longer than I care to admit.

While I’m a writer by trade, I love the visual aspects of the craft. I’ve published essays in the design quarterlies Émigré and Eye (London). Some comments on typography were anthologized in Looking Closer 2: Critical Writing On Graphic Design.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Minnesota. I’ve written and hope to publish a novel and a memoir.

My better self:

I am also on the board of two organizations which are slightly more worthy than I am: Rain Taxi Review of Books and the Innocence Project of Minnesota.

Just, you know, me:

I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota with my awesome wife Ellen and my impossibly charismatic greyhound, Albert. I grew up a little ways down the Mississippi, in and around Winona, Minnesota. Go Winhawks.
