You don’t need a cape to build an author platform—you just need the right tools, a strategic plan, and a deep understanding of what truly connects with readers.

In this hands-on 4-hour master class, literary manager and publishing strategist Kirsten “Kiki” Ringer will walk authors through the foundational steps of building an author platform that actually works—without faking, forcing, or falling into overwhelm. You’ll identify your strengths, clarify your brand, choose your ideal channels, and develop a marketing rhythm that supports your writing life, not steals from it.

You’ll leave with a custom platform strategy, a month's worth of content ideas, and a realistic roadmap to grow your reach and readership over time. No algorithms. No burnout. Just sustainable, authentic marketing—with a touch of superhero swagger.
