About Bill Platt
Bill lives in Ponca City, Oklahoma, where life is rarely dull—especially with three grown kids and one more still making his way through high school.
Since 2005, he’s made his living entirely from home, turning words into income and proving that the writing life can pay the bills. So far, so good.
Over the years, Bill has published hundreds of titles on Amazon, spanning a wide range of genres—most written under various pen names. But when he writes under his own name, he focuses on helping fellow self-published authors succeed.
His books provide practical training and guidance on everything from choosing the right genre to crafting compelling nonfiction, fiction, and low-content books, and marketing books effectively.
Most of his author-focused books are available exclusively through his own websites, where he connects more directly with his audience.
In the summer of 2023, Bill dove into the world of AI—curious about how it might reshape the way he does research, plans, writes, publishes, and promotes his books.
What he found fully transformed the nature of his business. By integrating AI tools into his workflow, he’s uncovered smarter, faster ways to produce content, and grow his publishing business.
