As an author, you've probably been told you need a "platform."

But what exactly does that mean? Is it social media? A newsletter? A website? A following? And why are agents, editors, and publishers placing more emphasis on platform than ever before?

Join us for an invitation-only salon exploring one of the most misunderstood—and increasingly important—concepts in publishing today.

We'll discuss:

• What an author platform actually is (and what it isn't)

• Why engagement matters more than audience size

• The Owned, Rented, and Borrowed framework for building visibility

• What editors and agents are really looking for when they talk about platform

• How AI search is changing discoverability for authors

• Practical first steps for building a platform that feels authentic and sustainable

Limited seats. By invitation only.
