It's a hot, and often dreaded, topic - the author platform. Over the next four weeks, we will be running a series on self-driven marketing and building your author platform. Our authors will join these discussions to open up a conversation about what has worked for them, what has not worked for them, what challenges they have, and advice they feel will benefit all authors. Our first topic will be on the value of social media and some key does and don'ts. At the conclusion of this discussion, anyone who is participating live on Google+ will get a free download of our social media printable planner.
