Build Your Author Platform
Advertisement
A workshop for authors at any stage who want to build an authentic platform that draws in readers, agents, and publishers.
About this Event

Convincing readers to buy your book is easier when they know who you are. In this two-hour workshop, author brand advisor Jessica Sorentino will guide you through the essentials of building an authentic author platform that connects with readers, agents, and publishers. You'll start to identify your personal brand, learn how to represent yourself as the main character of your story, and create sustainable habits for showing up for your community—without feeling chronically online.

All attendees will receive The Notebook, Jessica's content planner designed specifically for writers, featuring brand activation prompts, marketing organization spreads, and space to bring your book (and dreams) to life.

Limited to 14 participants.
