The Indie Author Platform Starter Kit

Four ready-to-use templates - a platform map, product listing template, content calendar, and launch checklist — to help indie authors plan and run their book platform with less guesswork.

Stop rebuilding your author platform from scratch every time you launch a book.

The Author Platform Starter Kit gives you four fill-in-the-blank templates, built from a real, working multi-platform author business:

• Platform Map — lay out every platform you use and its role, so your traffic flow is intentional instead of scattered

• Product Listing Template — a repeatable structure for writing book, bundle, or digital-extra listings in minutes instead of hours

• Content Calendar Template — plan a week (or a launch push) of platform-specific content at a glance

• Launch Checklist — a four-phase framework (Announce, Build Anticipation, Launch Week, Sustain) to keep any release on track

Delivered as an instant-download, editable Word document. Fill in your own books, platforms, and dates — no design work required.

Whether you're publishing your first book or your fifth, this kit takes the guesswork out of showing up consistently across platforms.
