Meet your mentor

Hi, I’m Katie. I’ve been working on marketing campaigns for publishers for 14 years. In that time have helped authors from all sorts of different backgrounds to create and harness the power of their author platform.

Now I want to help authors discover how to grow their platforms in a way that feels manageable, but still gets your book in front of your ideal readers.

Learn more about me and what I do on my website.

What we'll cover in this course:

Defining our terms

We’ll talk about what we mean when we talk about author platform, and how big your platform really needs to be.

Setting your foundations

We’ll dive into the foundational questions all authors need to ask themselves when they’re starting out.

Reaching your ideal readers

We’ll talk about why your book is not for everyone, and your author platform shouldn’t be, either.

What consistency really means

We’ll look at why forcing yourself to show up can lead to burnout, and why you might be more consistent than you think…

Creating content that connects

We’ll go into the basics of creating great content, and why having those foundations in place can make coming up with ideas a joy.

Creating a plan made for YOU

And finally, you will come away with a plan to grow your platform that is made with your own energy and unique skills in mind.
