The Author Platform: The Blog

Like I said before, I will address different ways to build your author platform over a series of posts. This one will be about blogging. Writerland is a new blog, and I don’t claim to be an expert on blogging, but I can share some of the information I’ve gleaned from books, articles and sites […]
