Welcome to The Writing Coach. On this podcast, I speak with the instructors, editors, coaches, and mentors who help writers and authors create their art, build their audience, and sell their work.

In episode #80 of The Writing Coach podcast, I answer some important questions about author platform building and book marketing.

This week one of my former clients, Kathryn Roy, posted a number of fantastic marketing-related questions in a private Facebook group that I run. I had some pretty in-depth responses in mind for her questions, so I decided to share them here on the podcast.

During the episode, I cover:

* Why your author platform doesn’t necessarily have to be blog-based

* How to go about building an email list

* My thoughts on how writers should approach blogging

* Who I turn to when seeking advice and tips on book marketing

* And much more!
