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

Perfect

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stylish and super comfortable These Tory Burch sandals are the perfect mix of elegance and comfort. The buckle design adds a classy touch, and the color goes with everything. They’re very comfortable to walk in and don’t cause any rubbing. The quality is top-notch, as expected from the brand. Totally worth it!

Stylish slides - wish they were a little more comfortable
Size: 7, Color: Perfect Black/Gold
The Tory Burch buckle slides are very stylish and look great with almost any casual outfit. The overall design is cute and polished enough to dress up simple looks, which is why I plan to bring them on vacation. That said, the plastic buckle on top is a bit stiff, which affected comfort for me. I wouldn’t recommend them for a lot of walking, as my feet started to feel uncomfortable fairly quickly. Comfort-wise, I would rate these around a 5 out of 10. Overall, they’re a nice option for short outings, lounging, or occasions where style matters more than all-day comfort.
