It’s foolhardy to expect you can just write and publish, and that good things will happen without you playing a proactive role in somehow being visible. And that’s what platform is all about: visibility. – Jane Friedman

Nine videos teach strategies to establish an effective and sustainable author platform, creating visibility for your work that builds on your unique values and strengths. Watch the intro here: Click. 

With current industry insights and real-world examples, learn from Becky practical ways to share your work, connect with your ideal readers, and build a following.

This program is designed to transform platform-building from an overwhelming task to a creative opportunity, showing you how to reach your readers and expand your network.
