Build First by Paula Banks

What's Inside

The 5 pillars every author needs

01

Positioning

Get clear on who you are as an author and where you stand before you start talking to anyone.

02

Platform

Build the foundation people can find you on — without chasing every platform at once.

03

Product Pathway

Map out how your book fits into a bigger body of work so it doesn't just sit there after launch.

04

Process

Create systems that keep you moving — so publishing doesn't become the thing that burns you out.

05

Promotion

Learn how to talk about your book in a way that feels like you — and actually moves people to buy.

You Wrote the Book.
Now What?

✍️

You're a first-time author

You want to do this right from the start — not figure it out after you've already launched.

📦

You've already published

Your book is out but it's not moving. You're ready to go back and build what you skipped.

🧭

You feel stuck

You've been writing but you don't have a real plan. This gives you the framework to fix that.

🚀

You're ready to treat this like a business

You're done hoping it works out. You want a system — and you want it to actually make sense.
