Episode 2: Author Platform: What It Is & Why You Need One

The Book-A-Go-Go podcast was started out of a desire for its co-hosts to share their industry knowledge with their clients. As a writer/editor and a publisher, Jenna Rose Robbins and Sara Stratton found themselves repeating much of the same information to their clients. Rather than continue to do so, the duo — who have worked on more than a dozen books together — decided to record their knowledge for easy dissemination.
The first 18 episodes comprise the “Reference Episodes” — the steps and info needed to take an author from finished manuscript to printed book. While these first episodes are scripted, future episodes will have more of a casual, talk-show-style format.
