Publishers refer to it as your platform. Today it falls to authors, more than ever before, to do the heavy lifting to interest people in their work. <br /><br />I had a few action-adventures and mysteries published early by a small publisher, and have completed many more manuscripts, but I came to a point where I realized I needed to add that extra element of a platform if I hoped to attract a larger publisher.<br /><br />Today, my blog, Books for Boys, has reached the # 1 position on Google, when people are searching under that subject. http://booksandboys.blogspot.com So I encourage other writers to work even harder on platform than you do on your writing. It’s what comes after getting published that is truly the hard work of being an author.<br /><br />Max Elliot Andersonmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602676696397151703noreply@blogger.com
