How do you build an author platform when you don't have a book out, you don't have a publishing deal, and you have NO idea what you're supposed to post about? If that's exactly where you are right now, this episode is for you. Kate and I have been publishing for 8+ years, and in this one we go all the way back to square one: no platform, no email list, nothing to promote yet. We talk through the first steps we'd take if we were starting from zero all over again, and the very first things we'd do to build our author brand from scratch. It's a real conversation, and we get specific about what we'd actually do and why. Tell us in the comments: what's the ONE thing stopping you from starting your platform today? 👇 And if you know a writer who keeps saying "I don't have anything out yet," send this episode their way.

Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
