Great show! Really enjoy this podcast and also Novel Marketing. Question: Bob Hostetler mentioned one of the first steps he takes is to examine the marketing section of a proposal. What’s the best way to handle this section if you don’t have a platform? As a new novelist, I’ve been using my time to focus on developing my craft. If my novel doesn’t garner an agent, I will use it to develop my email list. But for my upcoming conference appointments with agents, what’s the best way to address this in the proposal? Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.
