EXCERPT
 

"Look at her"- my eyes meet my friend- "I support and love you."
"Look at her"- my eyes shift to my next friend- "I support and love you."
"Look at her"- my eyes turn to my other friend- "I support and love you."
"Look at me"- my eyes are at my friend creating this moment- "I support and love you."

It was moments before I would speak for my first in-person event. God led my friend Kiyanni Bryan to instruct me to turn and look at all my sisters in the back room with me - Lakia Perez, Ciara Mason, Melissa Daughtry, and herself, and allow them to say,,, those words to me. With tears rolling down my eyes, the reality of their words sinking in brought me to a new level of freedom and deliverance. 

It can weigh on you when you have had to manage the fights of ministry and struggles in your personal life. It never means quitting or giving up, but with the right people around you, it still means making sure you position yourself to heal in the areas where you have been wounded.

Practical Advice for Beginning Non-Fiction Writers: Chavon Anette

Let me begin by saying, to every non-fiction writer, I commend you for being willing to share your story, experience, and even expertise with others. There are so many things that could be considered practical advice for becoming a non-fiction writer. I will share three with you that have been helpful for me. At this point, I am a published author, whether it is a solo project or an anthology of over 10 books. So many people are in the writing process who ask me how I wrote so many books or been in so many anthologies at only 33 years of age, so I will share with you some practical tips.

First, you need to have a vision or a why behind writing your book. As a business owner and leader in ministry and the marketplace, I have learned that people care less about your what and how, but they remain connected to you based on your why. How will your book serve others even when it is about you or what you know? This is important because when it is time for you to promote your book, you need a clear message, and this will also help you write even when you don't feel like it; yes, that happens to the best of us.

Second, create an outline. An outline is something that was taught to us in grade school. It seemed like, at least for me, the assignment of creating the framework for our papers was boring and useless work. However, the best writing comes from first organizing all your thoughts. Furthermore, an outline allows you to see yourself making progress over time. You get to see yourself finishing a chapter and moving on to the next one with an understanding that you are getting closer to the finished product. The saying is, to begin with the end in mind.

Third, don't overwhelm yourself with the editing process when you are the writer. You must make the investment and give your finished manuscript to an editor. You are the content creator, and you can allow someone else to focus on the details. Many people struggle to complete their writing because they are also trying to edit their writing. John Maxwell teaches you to focus on your strengths and never be afraid to hire someone who has a strength that you don't have. The reality is we can't be strong in everything.

Remember, someone needs what you are about to put in publication. It is your job to produce what will help others. Your book may not touch everyone globally, but it will touch most people who need it. Create a vision not just for the book but create a timeline. Develop a strong outline but allow yourself the flexibility to add to or take away as you go through the writing process. Write as the content creator but don't be afraid to make revisions based on the editor's comments. Your book is just what the world needs.

Review:

'My Sister Helped Me Heal' by Chavon Thomas

My Assessment:  

This book 'My Sister Helped Me Heal' was a wonderful group of anthologies that these women shared in 'their story about the Powerful gift of Kingdom Sisterhood. As I read through each level, I was moved by how these sisters [authors] helped one understand just what was going on in their lives and how, through Sisterhood, they were able to 'help their sisters heal.

There will be 65 stories and an epilogue of how God worked it all out for these ladies. Some of my favorites anthologies were...The Foreword by Kristal Kear...wonderfully delivered...She Didn't Know What She Carried Until...Nakia Harris...another well-told story, Teach Me to Pray...Ebony Cherry. ...Sisterhood Helped Me Heal...Domonique Peele, ...My Plan Didn't Work...Jessica Simmons,...A Divine Meet-up...Pastor Paulette Harper, "Live with purpose. Don't limit God; stay focused and allow God to take you places you have only imagined."  

I am a Woman of Life,...Lakia Perez,...Hidden in insecurity to walking in purpose confidently, ...Antoinette Hines,...The Angel that Helped Me Heal, Michelle Franklin,...Covered,...Dr. Charlene Bellis,...Down but Not Out, ...Melissa L. Bell,... The Drop Could Have Killed Me, But God,...Shelia Cook,...an Ode to My Sisters, ...Tamia Copeland.

"The book is about real stories of Sisterhood That helped people move - from broken to the whole - from hidden to walking in purpose - from rejected to accepted - from insecure to confident - from afraid to bold as a lioness."

These anthologies were excellent reads; you will get something from each of the various readings. The epilogue lets one see almost their own story in many reads. One is left thinking, what is my story when all is said and done...we all have a story, and having a sister as 'God heals your heart completely and sends sisters your way to help you live and give birth to your purpose.'

This was an outstanding read!

Coming Soon

Fear None

By Amarie Avant



Amarie Avant’s latest release, Fear None, is coming on February 1, 2022. 


Blurb:


🗡️Respect all, fear none…🗡️


TATUM

I lived by my father’s motto until River entered the MMA cage, River’s brown eyes reflected mystery, and his soul held darkness. 

Off-limits to a good girl like me.

One day, the demons that haunted River swallowed him whole. Forever passed away, yet I failed at forgetting the beast who showed me a tender side of him. 

Now, I’m the law. A cop.

River’s as gorgeous as sin. An ex-convict.

And I’m the reason he was tossed in the slammer. 



RIVER

Coach treated me better than any blood of mine. I stabbed him in the back. I’ll twist the knife this time and steal his most prized possession: his daughter, my everything. Tatum’s innocence was created for my corruption. Prison sharpened the monster she couldn’t save.

She can take down any enemy.

But her biggest opponent has a claim to her heart.

I’ve loved that girl for the better part of my life. Only one of us stopped loving the other. And it wasn’t me.


Trigger warning: this story has some dark elements and graphic language, scenes, and situations.

TEN MAJOR CHALLENGES SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHORS FACE
[Excerpts from Write It Right: The Guide to Self-Publishing Your Best Book
by Gwen Richardson]

Challenge #1: Self-publishing can be overwhelming.

Most first-time, self-published authors believe that their work is done once they write the book and get it printed. The self-published author has to bear these expenses and handle these tasks alone or exclude them altogether. The entire process can be so costly and overwhelming that most self-published authors exhaust their resources and give up only a few months.

Challenge #2: Your book(s) will have limited distribution.

An author receives a tremendous amount of satisfaction from the experience of going into a bookstore and seeing their book on the shelves for readers to thumb through and, ultimately, purchase. As a self-published author, however, the likelihood of the paper version of your book being available in bookstores nationwide is slim to none. But you may have some success with getting independent bookstores in your local area to carry your book.

Challenge #3: Some consumers may not take you seriously.

For some consumers, unless your book has the look and feel of one produced by one of the major publishers, such as Simon & Schuster, Penguin, or Random House, they perceive it to be an inferior product. One way to counter this perception is by producing a book that, at first glance, looks like one that is professionally prepared.

Challenge #4: Most bookstores won't carry your book.

Most bookstores shy away from accepting self-published books for many reasons:

·       The book's presentation does not meet industry standards in terms of cover design, layout and editing;

·       The books are usually not returnable, and retailers expect to be able to return books to the publisher if their sales are lackluster; and

·       Self-published books have garnered a less-than-stellar reputation, and some bookstores refuse to accept any self-published books.

Challenge #5: It will probably take you much longer to build a reading audience.

Successful authors develop a base of readers, known as a "reading audience," who will read almost any book they write. However, as a self-published author, it will take you much longer to build your reading audience, and increasing your base of readers will require a consistent marketing effort.

Challenge #6: You will not receive an advance and need to use your own financial resources.

Even though advances paid by major publishers have decreased over the years, these funds are a lump sum payment an author can use to compensate them for the time expended writing the book. As a self-publisher, you do not receive any funds upfront from another entity, and you will have to use your own resources to publish and market your book.

Challenge #7: It is considered more prestigious to be signed with a major publisher.

When an author can hold their head high and proclaim, "I just signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster [or substitute any of the other major New York-based publishers]," the author has a sense of pride and significant accomplishment. As one among the elite group of writers with book contracts, authors know that they already have the stamp of approval from entities within the book industry.

Challenge #8: Self-published authors can often feel isolated and disconnected.

Being a self-published author can often be a lonely sojourn. Some weeks you will have some successes, but you will often experience rejection, loss, and a sense of failure. That is why connecting with other authors and people in the book industry is important. Make it a habit to review your local newspaper's listings and book-related social media platforms of book events in your area.

Challenge #9: Most book clubs will refuse to select your book as a featured book among their readers.

Like bookstores, book clubs have become selective about the books their members choose to read. Book clubs comprise avid readers who are veterans when consuming and evaluating literature. Some book clubs refuse to even consider self-published books because they have been "burned" in the past with poorly edited and published material.

Challenge #10: You probably will not generate as much money as you would through a major publisher.

In light of the nationwide distribution and marketing advantages that a major publisher will have compared to the personal contacts you may have at your disposal, you are unlikely to generate a comparable amount of revenue as a self-published author. However, there are exceptions, and many self-published authors generate six-figure incomes through their book sales.

"Boss Women:" Seven African Women Who Built Their Business From the Ground Up" by Gwen Richardson

My Opinion:

How enjoyable 'Boss Women' was that an enjoyable and informational read for all to read.

These African American women were...Janice Adams of JMA Solutions, Valerie Daniels-Carter of V & J Holdings, Bea Dixon of Honey Pot...I have tried these products and love them, Janice Bryant Howroyd of ActOne Group, Garnetta Sanders of Neta Scientific, Janelle Stephens of Camille Rose Naturals, and J C Sykes of 90 Degree Construction.

I love this short story of 'Two Janices, Jc, Garnetta, Bea, plus Valerie and Janell...with humble beginnings...how they've risen to new heights determined to excel.'

'Believe in yourself is what they all say. Your grit, guts, and courage will ultimately pave the way for the path you'll leave for others to follow. Your destiny will manifest a brighter tomorrow.'

The author did an excellent job of giving the reader information on these 'Boss Women who are definitely Tomorrow's Boss Women of the future generation.' Would I recommend 'Boss Women?' YES, especially to the younger children.

  I ran down the hall into the bathroom, trying not to let them see how upset I really was. It was indeed a set up! An ambush! "Not again," I thought as the tears ran down my face and into the basin. I turned the water on high so that the sounds of my sobs could be shielded.

Why would she do this? Why would they gather together against me? I was the First Lady, Evangelist, Teacher, Prophetess, and prominent leader in this ministry.  

They all came against me. Methodically, one by one. There it was again, hurt, rearing its ugly head. Why do I keep experiencing hurt from the people of God that are supposed to love one another? So, after gathering myself together, I was hoping they would be gone. I was in the bathroom for at least 10 minutes or more. When I unlocked the door and looked out, they were all still there. Shame hit me right then. Did I really deserve this treatment? I was not ready for another confrontation. I walked towards the one who had said previously, leading women was what she was called to do. And it was her who set up the meeting for all the ladies in the church that day. I was speechless! She stated, "We needed to get this taken care of." So, I went to sit back down in the meeting room. There, I cried some more.

After hearing all these complaints, I suddenly realized that every complaint was about me! This incident happened so many years ago, but it was indeed a classroom for me to grow my leadership skills. So sometimes, as leaders, we make the mistake of ruling by titles instead of my leadership skills and knowledge, which I was doing.
