These seven steps are for every writer who has completed their first draft and wonders, “What next?”

With detailed guidance and tons of information, The 7-Step Guide to Authorpreneurship describes critical steps often overlooked in publishing primers. If you are serious about creating a successful publishing venture, then first read this book and keep it as a reference as you follow the steps.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write The Seven Step Guide to Authorpreneurship?

Rochelle Carter: Working with my authors, I found that it would be helpful to have a comprehensive guide on both the publishing process AND what authors an do to during the process.

Jan Hinds, author of Breads: Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8

Breads: Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8 is a compilation of family recipes collected from five generations. The series is my effort to preserve and share these recipes so they don’t become lost.

(Wahida Clark Publishing)

Jason and his little brother Darius were born into the dope game. After being left to fend for themselves on the streets, they met George, a high level heroin supplier.

They quickly blow up. Things get to crazy for Jason, so he quits his day job as a dope dealer to become DJ. As DJ Jay-Roc, he lands a dream job at the biggest hip hop radio station in America. It came with a price…

Darius goes on to become D-Boy – one of the biggest dope dealers on the East Coast. When he finds out who George really is, he realizes there is only one way out of this game.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write American D-Boy?

Alah Adams: I got the inspiration to write American D-Boy from the real Rick Ross story and Hip Hop in general. I dedicated it to the late great Jam Master Jay, one of my favorite DJs. The characters were based on people that I know,  so they influenced the development of those characters. I also got inspiration from the corrupt government of the United Snakes Of America.
