Aurelie Sheehan
1. I was only able to find her on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
2. The majority of the things posted on her more social, social media accounts (Twitter and Facebook) were links to articles for writers (i.e. book recommendations, interviews with writers, and writer advice columns). This combined with the fact that she has a Wikipedia page tells me that she is a major figure in the writing community and that she acts much more humbly then she ought to.
3. As previously mentioned, she acts much more humbly (or more does not act as conceded as I'd expect) in her works being that she has one various awards and has made a name for herself. This humbleness is visible through her appreciation for other authors: "I enjoy her fiction as I enjoy many good books (see above—serial lover under the blanket, snow outside, etc.) (Sheehan)."
Seth Foley
1. Foley has a much more humble social media presence, given that he only has a Facebook and definitely no Wikipedia page.
2. His Facebook page is exclusively for personal use, given that none of his posts revolve around his writing. Having interviewed Foley, I know that writing for him is a very internal and personal craft.
3. His persona in his writing can best be defined has loud and Hunter S. Thompson-esque, while his social media is very casual and much less intense: posting about cats, hippies, and Marine-memes.
