Description

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and thank you for tuning in to the third episode in our book proposals series. This week, we’re tackling the subject most authors dread most: their platform! We share what to include in your platform section, how to think about platform, and why this section really isn’t as scary as it sounds. Then we cover how you’re going to use your platform in the promotion section of your proposal.





Don’t miss your chance to be part of our next cohort: The Book Deal Blueprint, starting January 21! Learn more here.
