Need a platform?

Several persons in the publishing industry have said that you need a platform in order to get a non-fiction title published for a larger market.

Platform is, simply put, fame. Either ordinary, everyday fame of the kind that makes you recognize a name when you hear it, or fame relevant for the field in which you are writing.

Or, you could borrow a platform. Never having heard of the newspaper before I verified the news at DN.
