#Authoring Episode 25: How to Be a Sports Fan in 2020 (or “Searching Constantly for That Middle Space That Allows You to Quiet Your Conscience and Indulge Your Fandom”)
<p>That parenthetical quote above comes directly from the fantastic new book Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back: Dilemmas of the Modern Fan, and we are very excited to have that book’s authors, Jessica Luther and Kavitha A. Davidson, on #Authoring this week. The sports journalists have written a deeply insightful and thoughtful examination of the many issues that today’s thinking sports fan faces when considering their fandom.</p> <p>From the life-altering brain injuries plaguing NFL players and insensitive mascots rampant throughout sports at all levels to the legal problems some of our favorite sports stars find themselves in to the systemic racism and sexism that is at the center of many ongoing sports problems, Jessica and Kavitha tackle all those issues and more, and offer a nuanced, hopeful look at how, as the book title says, the modern fan can feel better, and maybe even take some action, about loving sports.</p> <p>Resources:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://utpress.utexas.edu/books/luther-davidson-loving-sports-when-they-don%27t-love-you-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back: Dilemmas of the Modern Fan</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/jessicawluther" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jessica Luther on Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/kavithadavidson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kavitha A.

#Authoring Episode 24: How and Why You Should Build an Author Platform, with Brielle Cotterman
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The concept of “building an author platform” provokes fear in many writers: Why do we need to be media stars in addition to writing great books? The simple answers: so you can get paid more for your work, get your books into more readers’ hands, and go on to write and sell more books. But building a platform might not be as hard as you think—and it doesn’t necessarily require Today show appearances or millions of social media followers.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Luckily we have publicity expert Brielle Cotterman—who helps clients raise their profiles through books, media, and public speaking—on this week’s episode with some simple, actionable tips to become just a little bit more of a celebrity, at least within your own niche. You might even have some fun along the way.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Resources:</p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.briellecotterman.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Brielle Cotterman’s website</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.helpareporter.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Help a Reporter Out</a></li> </ul>
