We all know the famous app, Instagram, as a creative space built on the foundation of the art of photography. However, it has opened its door as a platform for other works of art to be spread on social media for all to enjoy. Poetry, short stories, excerpts, and many other forms of written work have been featured on the app. These often feature themes of love, loss, and brutal honesty on the world in which we live that others are able to connect with. Combining two prominent forms of communication allows for the creation of success.There are thousands of exceptional creators out there but here, in no particular order, are four of the most successful writers on social media that I have come to know.

1. Christopher Poindexter

Being a poet, an observer, and a lover allow readers of Christopher Poindexter's to be captivated immediately. He is a child of the moon who expresses the beauty of the being human from a drunken state of mind. His love of the human race and significant other serve are the muses that inspire his writing. He is a voice for this generation through his wistful written work as well as his talent with music. Christopher also recently opened an online merch shop in which his printed works can be purchased.

2. R.M. Drake

One of the most well-known self-published writers, who found his popularity through Instagram, is known as R.M Drake. His work focuses on not only on deep love but on loss and the companionship with loneliness. His honesty and understanding of the world and human emotion is truly something to be admired. Today, his books are being sold through Amazon and his website.

3. Jay Raymond

Jay Raymond is a father, a thinker, and one of the most raw writers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. His work, like all, consists of love and heartache but also of the beauty of life and living to its entire extent. He speaks out about avoiding conformation to the standards of society and being a free spirit in all sense of the word. His unique excerpts are profound and can be purchased through his website and Amazon.

4. Beau Taplin

Taplin is consistent in the art of producing insightful snippets of his beautifully worded work. He brings the acceptance of the pain love can bear on our hearts to light as well as the importance of being unapologetic. Being able to convey ideas that other people are able to resonate with so well is a skill that Taplin is well acquainted with. His books are also available on his website.
