Sell it too! You are kidding?
It was an electric moment to get my first business book published and an immediate thud to discover I was also expected to sell it! This unexpected kink in the pipeline to my fantasized fame and fortune even came with a job title. It’s called an author’s platform and without one, authors are seldom picked up by a publisher let alone attract a literary agent. I’d simply hit all the right cords to get to the book contract stage and didn’t know it.
Getting published is tough. And although opportunities for self-publishing abound, your need for an “author’s platform” isn’t going away. It will only intensify. It’s been 10 years since my first book signing at Barnes and Noble, a handsome royalty check and--along with it--a learning curve I’d rather pass along versus wishing that kind of learning curve on anyone! AuthorsBook was forged with that in mind and to help other writers master their platforms. Stay tuned.
