With simple-to-follow steps, Barb will help
you create, understand and use an Author Platform to support your career.
This short, no-frills book is just what busy authors to help them create platforms for marketing their books. You won't have to wade through personal stories, self-promoting testimonials, or tangents about writer's block and reaching for the stars. Instead, you get real life experience and practical tips.
Most writers really enjoy writing, but they're not generally big fans of promotion and marketing. A guide like this, one with practical, small-step ideas that you can realistically incorporate into your busy days, can be a lifesaver.
I especially appreciate the fact that Drozdowich has tried all of these platform ideas out herself. She has put in the time, tested the software and social media outlets, and passed on her recommendations. This saves authors enormous amounts of time. You don't have to learn by trial and error. You can count on the expertise of someone who has already done the homework.
I recommend The Author's Platform to authors who are taking on the challenge of promoting their books. Start with one or two of Drozdowich's ideas. Little by little you'll build up your platform and sell some books!
