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

It’s so invisible
So basically, I am 15 I accidentally went to my school in these but during free period my friend told me I was so embarrassed because at that point all the moisture became out of it and it was very visible. It’s not a bad product just to make sure to take it off before school/work.

Skin care for Mature Skin
I have Mature skin. I have tried many products to no avail. These 3 Korean products did my skin wonders on day 1. My very favorite is the Oil Cleaner. 2 are the toner pads that have Collagen Peptides and Rice Water. They're thin and you really can place them on your face like a sheet mask. Amazing! 3 the Pore Minimizer Serum shrank the large pores on each side of my nose. It leaves my skin So Pretty that I don't wear makeup but on special occasions. The price is a steal also.
