I set up my own publishing company and publish children's books through my company. So, unfortunately I don't always have enough time to sit down and write everyday. I find that a blog is a good way to keep up to date and of course also to connect with others with similar interests!

Excellent series on Building a Profile. It's such a necessary thing nowadays. It seems to have cropped up over night as a Must Do for every writer. Am I wrong or are the days of writing alone--separated from the rest of the the world, then popping out as a solitary, genius, best selling author--gone forever? Vanished from reality-- only to remain alive in print or legend format?

Am I wrong or are the days of writing alone–separated from the rest of the the world, then popping out as a solitary, genius, best selling author–gone forever? Vanished from reality– only to remain alive in print or legend format?

Building an author platform through blogging or setting up a website is ESSENTIAL for new authors. Imagine an editor receives you ms, they like it (YAY!), what do they do next? They go to your blog/site to find out more about you, to see what your public face is like, to see if you have sales potential. More and more these days sales teams are involved in the decision process when it comes to taking on new authors. Having a ready made platform, a series of connections already in place, connections that bring you directly to your reader, customers who are ready and waiting for the product, counts hugely in your favour. And don't stop at blogging - network your blog into Twitter and Facebook and extend your reach still further. Great post Elizabeth, looking forward to the rest!
