Writers' Platform Building Campaign
If you've been around the blogosphere you may have heard about writer Rachael Harrie's Writers' Platform Building Campaign. If not then you're in for a treat that involves not only a great opportunity to build your platform, but a fabulous lady. The Campaign is all about bringing writers together across the blogosphere to get to know and support one another. This is Rachael's third year conducting the campaign and bringing writers together to fight back the stigma that writing is a lonely profession. In my book that kind of makes her a bit of a hero.
Don't be mistaken, this isn't just about building a platform and promoting one's self. This is about meeting like minded people, bonding, and building lasting friendships to help shield us and prepare us to take on the industry. Writers from all over are coming together in Rachael's campaign to meet and support one another. There are genre groups, regional groups, there will be contests, and writing challenges. Next to WriteOnCon, this is the biggest online get together of writers that I have seen in a long time. You don't want to miss out on this! To join in the fun check out this post over at Rach Writes, but hurry, it's only open to join until the 31st of August.
On the Tour Of Secrets today I'm at my writer bud Kristen Yard's blog. She is so fun and energetic if you don't already know her then you've got to meet her! I hope you'll stop by to learn who my secret idol is and for a chance for more points in the giveaway!
