| | Self Publishing: Getting Down to the Business
Are you ready to tell your story?
 "There has to be an easier way to get my book published," says the struggling aspiring author, discouraged and hardly able to carry on. We are enthusiastic and eager to give you the help you need, so to that we answer, "Yes, you can and will succeed because we are going to provide you with the tools you need to jump start your publishing career."
*Have you ever wondered if self publishing was right for you? * Do you need a step-by-step guide to turning your manuscript into book format?
* Do you need to know successful alternative distribution and sales techniques for authors? If you answered yes to one of these questions, this Seminar is for YOU! While writing is an art form that most writers are willing do for free because of the joy of it, when you are ready to take the plunge into self publishing you must understand this is a business. And as with any business, there are sharks and pitfalls that if you are not careful you will be sucked in and taken advantage of. In this two-hour session with author and publisher, Shani Greene-Dowdell, you will learn how to turn your dream into a reality on a shoe-string budget while making the most out of your publishing experience. Shani will share with you cost-effective ways to jump-start your career as a self published author and tell you exactly how you can have your book published in 30 days. There will be no fluff during this session, so you will not leave this seminar still wondering about your next step to take in self publishing. For authors that are already self published, this will serve as a refresher course for effectively running your publishing business and you will leave with new information to better conduct your publishing endeavors.

Go ahead, Say Something Beautiful
In the effort to encourage others to speak life to each other and themselves, on March 11th, Shanibooks.com's Quote for today was..."But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken." ~Matthew 12:36 Not only must we be careful of what we say to others, but what we say to ourselves, as well. Today I affirm that I am blessed, successful, and will live my life to the fullest for all that I'm blessed with and my blessings to come. Will you say something beautiful to someone else AND yourself today? |

Black Love is Beautiful Introduces Guest Blogger: Ebony Adams
I was listening to Bishop Eddie Long one night and his sermon spoke to me in a way that touched me. In his sermon, he used the example of a father taking something away from his child, something that the child loved very much. However, the child only loved it so much because he wasn't aware of the fact that there was something even better than what he had out there waiting for him in life. The child was unaware that he had higher blessings waiting for him in the Kingdom of God. Therefore, the child cried, and became sad because he lost something that he thought was good.Read More >
