Writing, Marketing and all the things...
Come on in, pour yourself a cuppa, and relax.
Long-gone are the days when a writer could just write. Nowadays it's about the business, the marketing, the networking... and do you know something? Knowing other writers really helps..
And this is where I come in. Because I wrote a wee book about it, and I’ve just finished making it into an 8 episode Podcast too.
How to Build an Author Platform, talks all about getting your social media working for you, so that it doesn't take over your life.
Whether you’re looking at self-publishing, traditional or hybrid, it's a fact that you'll need an online presence.
And if you're just beginning to build your online platform, or you want to shake up what isn't working, I’ll be going through some simple steps to get you creating authentic content, while protecting your privacy and your writing time.
I’ll chat about mindful ways to manage what you're comfortable sharing with strangers, and plan ahead of time to make things as easy as possible.
I don't talk about paying for ads, as keeping tabs on what works and what doesn't on that score… Well it’s more magic than science at this point. And it changes so frequently the research is best done when you're ready to hop on that wagon.
I’ll talk about why you don’t need all the social platforms, why hiding from Goodreads is a good idea, and just generally being your writer-friend.
Because being a writer can be a lonely business.
