Hi, I’m Cathy McIntosh, creator of the Platform Builders Masterclass. I know that when an agent or publisher says you must have an author platform before your work will be considered for publication, it's like letting the air out of a dream.
While building a platform takes work, there is a simple, step-by-step process to follow. You can develop a clear marketing message and present it in a way that makes people excited to buy.
I’m driven to help fellow writers with proven tools to build, launch, and grow their businesses. I'd love to help you build your platform and encourage more people with your words.
Let's do this! Register for Platform Builders today!
