What this episode covers
How do you build an author platform that attracts major publishers? Is it actually possible to get traditionally published after choosing the self-publishing route? While building your author platform does take work, this week’s Publishing Secrets guest, John Stange, found out that it was much simpler than you might expect. In fact, John never intended to build such a big, multifaceted platform in the first place. It all came together little by little, piece by piece, over a period of many years. Listen and let John’s story inspire you not to give up if you don’t see results right away – you might be surprised at how the pieces finally fall into place.
