Thompson, outlined fifteen things writers can do right now to develop their tribes and platforms, key ingredients for a successful career in publishing.
While some audience members seemed unsure about how to create an author brand, Thompson eased concerns by addressing question in her patient and humorous tone. She made the intimidating topics of social platforms, consistent messaging, and brand visibility accessible to her audience.
