Create Your Author Platform | Writing for Children 157

CREATE YOUR AUTHOR PLATFORM What IS a platform? It’s your visibility. The wider your reach, the more books you can sell. What you do with your platform is try to reach (in an authentic way) your target audience. It’s all about connecting—with people on a real level and because of your reach, you are able to sell books. It’s not about being in people’s faces and hollering about buying your book. So, who needs a platform and where do you begin? Let's talk about it in this episode.   Join the Institute of Children's Literature Community!
