Stop wondering if your platform is ‘big enough’—and finally know exactly what publishers care about (and what they don’t).
If you’re a nonfiction writer, you’ve probably been told the same thing over and over:
“Grow your platform.”
“Post more.”
“Build an audience first.”
But what if the fastest way to reach more readers isn’t growing your own audience at all?
What if the smartest move is borrowing someone else’s?
Grow your reach the smart way.
This is the strategy I teach my clients again and again — because it worked for me. Gatekeepers care far more about reach and visibility than follower count alone.
🎯 This Course Is For You If:
✅ You want to grow your reach without burning out
✅ You don't want to live on social media
✅ You want to impress agents and publishers with real visibility
✅ You are ready to be strategic instead of scattered
💪🏻 It worked for me.
I’m Margot, a New York Times bestselling writer and I've written over 50 books. I am passionate about helping nonfiction writers, like you, get published.
When I was preparing to pitch my first book, I couldn't show a gatekeeper a huge social media following. But because I implemented this CO-OP strategy I'm teaching in this course, a publisher was able to say "yes" to my book!
Now I'm teaching you how to reach new readers by leveraging audiences that already exist — magazines, podcasts, newsletters, and platforms where your readers are already paying attention.
Stop hustling for one more follower. Start borrowing someone else's audience.

👋🏽 I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
✋🏾 Do I need a big platform for this to work?
No. This strategy is designed for writers with small or growing platforms. You’re learning how to access audiences that already exist — not prove you’re famous.
🤚🏼Is this just about pitching big magazines and podcasts?
Not at all. We start small and smart. You’ll learn how to identify accessible opportunities first, build momentum, and then work your way up as your credibility grows.
🖐🏿 What if I’m not active on social media?
Not a problem. This course shows you how to grow reach without relying on social media or algorithms.
👋🏽 Will this help with traditional publishing?
That's actually exactly what this is for. Publishers care about reach and visibility, not just follower count. This strategy helps you demonstrate that people are already paying attention to your ideas.
🤚🏽 Is this only for writers of a certain genre?
This works for all nonfiction writers. The examples vary, but the strategy applies whether you’re writing memoir, self-help, thought leadership, or idea-driven nonfiction.
✋🏻 How long will this take to implement?
You could gain traction in 6 weeks, and if you apply this strategy you'll certainly be able to demonstrate more evidence in 6 months. It's up to you, but I can testify that putting the work in is WORTH IT!
🤚🏽 Is this different from platform-building advice I’ve heard before?
Yes. Most platform advice focuses on growing your audience. This course focuses on strategically accessing other people’s audiences — a faster, smarter path for writers.
