ay your day is blessed!

Hello world. I'm testing my ability to blog in text form. Don't think I will do it much unless I absolutely have to LOL. Its taking a lot of time. Anywho, pr

On to the Next...

So I realized that I had been a little inactive on my search for a literary agent. A friend of mine gave me some perspective on not just trying to get a book deal, but a company deal. This brought my mind back to Birds in the Rain. Not only could this be a tool for our readers to get to know us, but a tool for potiential investors to get a taste of our natural talent and want to work with Dynamic Image Publications, not just us on an individual level.

So, I've set a goal to research at least two agents or companies a day, along with submitting query letters. I am still focusing on Ava's Story for the time being even though my next novel, My Joy, is finished and ready to go into the editing process. I believe that Ava's full potential has not been reached and I will not stop fighting for her. I've sold 4 books in the last week and I am currently looking for more ways to market the title myself. I feel that if I come to a publisher letting them know that this book is selling and I have the numbers to prove it, they'd be more willing to put faith into me.

Also, the Missouri Black Expo is next month and I (and hopefully Jazze) are going to go. Vickie Stringer, the CEO of Triple Crown Publications is going to be there and I am trying to meet and pick her brain a little on how TCP got started. She was a self-publisher herself in the beginning.

So God is good and great on any given day, I am praying for success and never stressing. As long as I push for DI I know that it will live.

As always...walk with me!

Creative love..
