4-weeks to success
You can’t get far in publishing without hearing the term “platform”—the avenues you use to reach your audience. Whether traditionally, self, or hybrid published, our 25+ years of expertise can fast-track your platform for long-term success. Avoid costly mistakes with our branding services, typically reserved for retainer clients, now available at a fraction of the cost in just 4 weeks.
Let us help you build a strong, cohesive author platform.
Brand Audit
We’ll audit your online brand including your website and social media channels. We’ll meet for a 20-minute session to go over recommendations to make it stronger and help position you as the go-to expert in your areas of expertise, with the book as the main focal point.
​
​
Thought Leader
Becoming known as a “thought leader” and renowned author is about showing up and getting your name out there where your readers will be inspired by your expertise. We’ll help you craft one 500-1000 word article and pitch it to a handpicked online outlet in order to showcase your expertise and build third-party credibility among readers and industry professionals.
​
​
Website/Social Media
A professional website doesn’t need to be complex. Affordable options make it easy to create a clean, polished online presence. For those with the budget, our skilled web designers can craft a branded single-page author website and offer additional services like social media graphics, podcast visuals, and newsletter design to elevate your online brand.
Positioning Your Story
It’s not just who you pitch, it’s what you pitch. Knowing exactly how to position yourself as an expert is the most critical element to media coverage. It’s the beginning of brand YOU. After reviewing your book, we’ll conduct a 1 hour zoom session to uncover exactly your audience, message, angles, what makes you an “expert” and in what subjects. Then we’ll co-create compelling news angles and a pitch you can use right away.
​
​
Press Kit
A press kit is the essential go-to for media professionals like producers, hosts, editors, and reporters, making it easier for them to quickly and efficiently understand what you do and why it’s newsworthy. This is your opportunity to control the materials they use to write your story. This includes a designed one-pager with professionally written bio, 3-4 talking points, 10 suggested interview questions, headshot (you provide), social media stats, and credentials.
​
​
Press Release
Based on our read of your book and our work together in the positioning intensive, we’ll develop from scratch a one-page press release that is ready to send out to help you launch your book and include in your press kit.
