ABOUT THIS ONDEMAND WEBINAR:

Platform has become increasingly important in the modern publishing world. What was once of concern only to authors of prescriptive non-fiction is now an integral part of successfully publishing fiction and non-fiction, both traditionally and independently. This is especially true for debut authors looking to break into the popular market. With more submissions and fewer acceptances, you need to show agents and publishers that you have what it takes to cut through the noise and get noticed by your target audience.

After years as a senior literary agent and working in various capacities for independent publishers, Gordon Warnock co-founded Foreword Literary, focuses on building careers for promising new authors. He works with all of his clients, fiction and non-fiction, to tap into their platform, expand their reach, and ultimately maximize their bookselling potential.

This presentation demystifies platform, shows you how to obtain it, and shares those important “extra" details and tricks that can help sway an agent's mind. Among topics touched upon are establishing the right kind of presence, writing the platform-centric query, assembling a convincing marketing proposal, and knowing what to say in a verbal pitch to show the agent you have platform.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • What platform is
  • What platform does for you
  • What agents look for in platform
  • How to approach and build platfor
  • How to craft a platform-centric query
  • How to assemble a convincing marketing proposa
  • What to say in a pitch to show the agent you have platform
  • Common misconceptions and mistakes

Love it and appreciate them
Love the necklace - special present from my husband after our baby was born. It was reasonably inexpensive but you wouldn’t be able to tell that when you see it. Mine broke after a month which is not normal. I emailed not expecting a response back….. I not only got a response but they offered to replace mine. Very happy I can wear it again!

I absolutely love this necklace. I ordered one for myself and then ordered several more for friends and family. The 16” is a great choice because there’s an option to make it longer. The product is exactly as pictured. It also ships very quickly. Excellent value for custom jewelry.
