“Build Your Writer’s Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days”

• Are you published and you want more readers and media attention?
• Is your fiction or nonfiction project being turned down by agents or acquisition editors because your platform doesn’t entice them?

Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan will show you how to thrive in the publishing arena and have fun too. She says: “Reach out, not stress out! By making your name stand for something—to attract targeted consumers (your fans)—who are likely to buy what you have to sell.  Learn how to help your fans find you, before and after publication!”  From the author of Build Your Writer’s Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days: Attract Agents, Editors, Publishers, Readers, and Media Attention NOW. 

See you there!
