Why write a book no one will read?
Readers only read books they have heard about.
Your platform is your ability to get the word out about your book.
Each day hundreds of new books enter a market already crowded by millions of existing books. Authors without a platform often get lost in the noise.
Traditional authors, need large platforms to attract an agent and publisher.
Independent authors, need large platforms to get the word out about their books.

What Authors are Saying
“I’ve been in marketing for more than 25 years so I’ve seen a vast array of gurus. If I could choose only one of them to listen to for the rest of my days it would be Thomas.
He has an uncanny ability to take his extensive knowledge and make it applicable for every stage of an author’s platform building journey. But even more than that is his passion for teaching.
Thomas loves seeing his students grab hold, and put into practice, principles and techniques that will accelerate their careers far beyond their expectations.”
