Service Update Your Author Platform Is Ready For You!

[AgentPete]

Like all writers, you’ve heard the term “author platform” being loosely thrown around for years. But what does it actually mean?

Is it a Facebook page? A TikTok account? A half-finished blog on a WordPress site no one visits?

It might be all of those things. Or something else entirely.

Until now, the phrase “author platform” has meant anything people wanted it to mean. In other words, pretty much nothing.

That changes today.

What is The Litopia Author Platform?​

At its heart, it’s a complete, modern author marketing solution, hand-crafted to help you build meaningful connections with your readers, grow your visibility, and ultimately – to sell more books.

Here's what you get:​

1. Your Author Identity – Distilled​

At the heart of every Platform there’s a single-page author overview – a vibrant, totally engaging snapshot of who you are as a writer.

How can I possibly guarantee that?

Because that’s how it’s been painstakingly constructed. We’ve already done the (very!) hard work so that all you have to do is – quite literally – to fill in the boxes. And I think you’re going to enjoy doing that, too!

• Most writers don’t know how to package or describe themselves, and end up with a list of dry facts (like a CV) or awkward bios that talk about… their pets? This is intelligently designed to capture your essence.
• Built for both readers and industry professionals. Use it to both attract new readers and to explain who you are to agents and publishers.
• Fully integrated with a mailing list system, so you can start owning your reader relationships immediately.

2. Feature Articles With Instant Reach​

Forget about random blogging. This is a fully integrated publishing and promotion engine.

• Write articles, updates, or short posts – from 100 words and up.
• Instantly featured on the Litopia main page and the Colony’s main page.
• Automatically promoted across all Litopia’s social media channels.
• Built-in comment system designed to encourage engagement and build your following.
• Each article also lives on your Author Platform page, keeping the page fresh and dynamic.

If you've ever endlessly struggled with how to “build your platform” – this is the easiest, most powerful way to do it, without the tech headaches.

3. A Shop – Ready When You Are​

Selling books? Or anything else? The Litopia Author Platform includes a flexible, fully-featured store.

• Sell both self-published and traditionally published titles.
• Add audio samples, videos, reviews, downloadable extras, and even behind-the-scenes backstories.
• Seamlessly links to external storefronts (e.g. Amazon) with one-click purchase options.

Not quite ready to sell? No problem. You can easily showcase your short stories, excerpts, or a writing portfolio instead. Just change the name of this section (everything is customisable) to whatever suits you!

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever​

In a world flooded with social media noise and algorithm changes, the most successful writers will own their relationship with readers.

“It doesn’t matter how you end up being published – what counts is having a strong relationship directly with your readers.”
– Peter Cox, Founder of Litopia

Yeah, that’s me... I’ve ended up quoting myself Because I’m so excited to have created the first stage of the AP, and to be sharing it with you now. And believe me, this is very much the ground floor. What I’ve got planned or the future will make your ears pop Huddlers already have some knowledge of this.

The Litopia Author Platform requires zero technical knowledge, no design hassles, and ongoing support from a community that wants you to succeed.

And did I mention the cost of all this?

Thanks for all the work you've put into this @AgentPete

I really enjoyed putting my Author Platform together. Easy to navigate and to customise. And I can keep on tweaking it as new things come up. It's miles better than any author website I could have put together by myself. Best of all, it connects with other writers. It's individual and united. It's a great thing to be part of, and it looks fantastic.

Wot she said.

 

[Jake E]

This is so above and beyond.
You have outdone yourself. (Which is hard, because past Pete set the bar pretty high to begin with)

 

[Aethalope]

Thanks for your efforts, it looks fabulous!

 

[LJ Beck]

WOW. What a mammoth undertaking!
2nd what Jake said. You do so much for the colony, it's mad. Consistently coming up with new ways to help, new offerings. This one's huge.
Thanks for all you do, @AgentPete !
