Hello Everyone!
I am in that fun stage of having completed my non-fiction, self-help manuscript and am starting to query literary agencies. I've had one bite from an agent in New York who told me that she knows my work is solid and there is a market for it. She told me that she even knows who she would reach out to publishing wise...but the problem is I need a more substantial platform to break through.
I have a fairly well followed blog www.loveaverage.com/blog, I have some published articles in print and online (still working on completing more), I have a medium sized following on social media (again, still working on this), I have connections with well respected authors and experts in the field of body image, I have been cited in a recent book that was published, I volunteer and teach at eating disorder groups....
I am wondering if anyone has some advice on how they increased their following or "platform" to entice publishers and agents to take a chance on them.
I will soon be launching a You Tube channel and I am working on some presentations as a start. I would love your advice!
Thank you all! This website has been a blessing during the writing experience...
