Don't Let This Be You
You poured your life into your manuscript...
Invested hundreds of hours...
Sacrificed time away from family and friends...
(Hopefully) Paid a high-quality publisher to release your transcendent
book...
Secured the services of a professional copyeditor to polish your baby...
Worked with a publishing professional to create the perfect title, subtitle, and book cover...
Proofread the typesetted manuscript (publishers call it a "galley) to ensure your book is devoid of typos, misspelled words, orphans, strange word spacing, and anything else that would distract your reader from your book...
And approved the final files.
Your book looks great, you feel great. That's the point every author asks me the same question.
Let's talk about it.

What's the Question?
After being asked this question,
literally, hundreds of times, let's talk about it.
The question?
What should I be doing?
Sometimes they ask me the question once their manuscript goes into copyediting, but
it's all in reference to promoting their book.
At that point I give them some
suggestions, but here's the deal: If you wait to build your platform until after your book is published, it's (probably) too late.
Don't feel bad if you've asked me that same question. When my book Strange Fire, Holy Fire was released in 2008, I waited way-y-y-y too long to ask that question. Lesson learned.
Sometimes I feel like a lone voice, crying in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way!"
Don't procrastinate in building your platform. You can never start too early.
That's what October 15 is all about.
