5.0 out of 5 stars Plot Your Writer's Platform June 4, 2011

By Martha Alderson

Format:Paperback

Teresa's new book guides writers in building a platform and fanbase -- essential for writers these days -- and, an added benefit, her exercises also lead novelists and memoirists to explore more deeply the thematic underpinnings of their projects.
To build a platform, a writer benefits knowing what she stands for and the better her understanding of the themes that drive her passion to write and communicate to others, the better able she is to convey those themes in her stories.
Devote 22 minutes for 22 days with Teresa's book by your side gives writers a competitive edge... and is sure to improve your writing, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge a book by it's cover - this book works. March 17, 2011

By C. Schlachter

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I try to be authentic as possible - the good, the bad, the ugly - so reviewers will trust my opinion. So here it goes: When you get this book you may ask "why did I spend 20 bucks on this", but then you read it, and then you start doing the exercises, and then your name starts popping up in every Google search out there. So it works. There are parts I think need to be reworked in version two (how to log on the Internet takes a page or two which probably doesn't need to be there, fonts a little confusing, PC vs. Mac focused) but if you can work with these, they are small compared to the task focused benefit of the book.

I bought it before a writers conference I attended and while the writers conference was great to energize my desire to get a platform going, two weeks later, it was Teresa LeYung Ryan's and Christine Katz's books that kept me going and powering through. While Katz's book is a good "here is what to do", Ryan's book is "do this". Both are great. I am happy I bought it, and would recommend it (and Katz's book if you can buy two). It is a task focused book that is great for a first time author with little or no marketing/media experience.

if you want to build your platform or even start marketing your business, this is a book to consider. If you need someone to guide you, this is your book!
