As an aspiring author, you likely know that an author platform is an essential tool in your marketing campaign. Long before you actually publish a book, you should have your author website up and running.

What you may not know, however, is that despite the various ways authors can now promote their work online (videos, blogs, book trailers, podcasts, social media) plain old-fashioned email is still the best way to communicate with your audience.
