Do you struggle with building a platform and what that means? Well then this episode is for you. Thomas Umstattd, Jr. joins us today to share his expertise on this difficult, sometimes daunting task.

Understanding Deep POV with Eva Marie Everson
Bestselling author Eva Marie Everson shares how to write, as she says, “in such a way that the reader feels that: (nonfiction): you are talking directly to them; (fiction): they have become a part of the story. They are the characters. During her presentation, Eva Marie shared an example of how she changed “Some people walked into a room” (telling) into a scene (showing)–which was absolutely phenomenal! Then we took a ten-minute break to write our own scenes. A couple of these are shared and Eva Marie provided feedback.
