The Other Half of Writing

Platform. This word and accompanying concept strikes fear in the heart of many writers, yours truly included. Traditionally, platform included speaking engagements, access to influential groups related to the book's genre, a large number of newsletter subscribers, etc. Now, social media is the king, with the aforementioned elements coming in a distant second. That means we writers who want to effectively sell our books must be marketers, too.

At this time, my writer Facebook page, www.facebook.com/LindaMooreKUrthWriter has 205 Likes. That seems like a lot to me, but to a publisher, it's a drop in the bucket. Additionally, I should have an impressive number of subscribers to this blog. I don't even know how to facilitate that! So I have a lot of work ahead of me before I'm ready to submit God, the Devil, and Divorce to literary agents. 

In the meantime, I'll try to backtrack a bit and share with you the resources I've used to write the memoir. Just know I really appreciate your comments and feedback.

Blessings,
Linda
