A Framework for Thinking About Author Platform

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in an online Google Hangout with the Bay Area Bloggers, hosted by Anne Hill and Suzanna Stinnet.

The conversation focused primarily on author platform. We discussed its evolution, its purpose in your career, and how you can decide what efforts are worth your time—plus the value of collaborating with other authors.

Jane, I’m still cooking on how we can build better and better bridges between authors, publishing vehicles, and the older, in-place publishing world. I’m glad we had a chance to put our heads together briefly, and look forward to sharing more possibilities in the future. Thanks so much for spending time with us!

Thanks for hosting this wonderful Google Hangout with Jane Friedman. I actually liked the idea of authors grouping together and started a FB group called, “Gutsy Indie Publishers” where we’re over 170 indie authors, PR people, editors, etc., helping one another. Please join if you’d like as we all share what works and our problems etc. Plus Jason Matthews has a wonderful Monday show for indie authors on Google Hangouts. Thanks, Sonia
