Start Building Your Platform Today
If there's one word all writers dread, it has to be "platform." As in, "It's difficult to get a book deal if you don't have a platform." What even is a platform? In essence, a platform is a writer's existing and verifiable audience. Sounds good, but what does it mean, and how do you start building such an audience? This course answers those questions, covering the basics of platform building, from author websites to essay publication, blogs, email lists, and social media.
