Whether you're preparing to pitch your book, attract an agent, or grow your readership, your author platform is the foundation that supports it all. But building and maintaining one doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
In this two-week bootcamp, Emmy Award–winning media strategist and bestselling author Paula Rizzo will help you assess your current platform, imagine what’s possible, and develop a plan that fits your life and goals.
Through guided worksheets, video lessons, and one-on-one feedback, you’ll gain clarity on how to show up as the expert you are—using tools like newsletters, social media, video, Substack, speaking, or media coverage—in a way that’s authentic and sustainable.
