When publishers talk about authors who have great platforms, they are generally referring to authors who have great websites and / or blogs (meaning interactive, functional, and with a clear and easy - to - find sign - up form); authors with a high
number of followers across various social media platforms; authors with previous publications (
of either books or articles); and authors who already have a
fair amount
of media exposure under their belts — through a list
of public speaking engagements, YouTube videos showcasing their talents, radio links, TV footage, and / or a media packet.
