Write Now Literary is pleased to be organizing a two-month book tour and $25.00 Amazon gift card for Boss Women: Seven African American Women Who Built Their Business From The Ground Up by Gwen Richardson. The book tour will run Jan- Feb 25, 2022. 

 

Genre: Youth

Gwen Richardson has been an author, entrepreneur, and "boss woman" for decades. She is the author of 13 books, including Boss Women, and is a graduate of Georgetown University. She has been twice nominated for NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Literary Work, wants to inspire children to seek entrepreneurship as a career path. Richardson resides in Houston with her husband, Willie, and adult daughter, Sylvia.

 

Boss Women features seven African American women who started their businesses by themselves or as co-founders with family members. Some of the enterprises are relatively new, while others have been established for decades.

 

The businesswomen profiled in this book are Janice M. Adams (JMA Solutions), Valerie Daniels-Carter (V&J Holding Companies), Bea Dixon (Honey Pot), Janice Bryant Howroyd (The ACT One Group), Garnetta Sanders (Neta Scientific), Janell Stephens (Camille Rose Naturals), and J.C. Sykes (90 Degree Construction).

 

Boss Women uses poetic phrasing to make it easier for children to read and understand. While reading each poetic profile, children will be able to see themselves in these women’s successes and dream big dreams for the future. The book is also a motivational tool for adults who are seeking encouragement on their entrepreneurial journeys.

1. Why did you write this book/What was the inspiration behind this book? 

All of my children’s books are centered around entrepreneurship. I wanted to write a book that included actual living, African-American women who have succeeded in business. Both children and adults can be inspired by their journeys. 

2. What makes this book different from other books? 

This book includes biographies of living women who are in business. To my knowledge, there is not a similar book like it on the market. It is beautifully illustrated (by an African-American female), and also includes the photos of the women along with their websites. 

3. What’s the hardest part about being an author? Staying motivated and avoiding procrastination. 

4 What do you love most about being an author? Being able to enlighten and inspire readers. 

5. Who is your favorite author/what is your favorite book and why? I have been an avid reader since age 4 and have read thousands of books. I don’t have a particular author that is my favorite. I like a well-written, well-told story by any author. 

6. What advice would you give aspiring authors? Seek advice by reading books about becoming an author from those who have succeeded; network with other authors; stay abreast of new trends. If you self-publish, seek the assistance of professionals (e.g., editor, book cover designer, formatter, marketer). 

7. What question or comment are you asked most frequently about your book? What inspired me to write the book and how did I determine which women to include in it. 

8. What advise do you have for aspiring authors? Seek advice by reading books about becoming an author from those who have succeeded; network with other authors; stay abreast of new trends. If you self-publish, seek the assistance of professionals (e.g., editor, book cover designer, formatter, marketer).

#VIRTUALBOOKTOUR Bre's Heavenly Adventures with Jesus #NEWBOOKALERT #CHILDRENBOOKS #GIVEAWAY @wnlbooktours

 

Write Now Literary is pleased to be organizing a two-week book tour and Amazon gift card giveaway for Bre's Heavenly Adventures with Jesus by Breanna Brown. The book tour will run Jan 11-22, 2021.

ASIN: B08R6M41Q1

Genre: Christian Children's Book

Bre Brown currently serves as the Youth Minister of Watchman Ministries, alongside her Husband Eric Smith, located in Fredericksburg, VA. She’s been regarded, as the "prophetic voice for the next generation." She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Louisville and currently possesses her qualified mental health professional registration in the state of Virginia. She is currently pursuing her graduate certificate in non-profit studies. She is the CEO and founder of Child Enrichment Solutions LLC. Which is a full-service coaching and consulting firm that helps youth to identify negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that inhibit them from achieving personal achievement utilize constructive coping strategies to lead happy, empowered, and successful lives.

 

Bre gets angry when her father breaks his promise and refuses to play with her. But Bre's mom tells her that she another father named Jesus-and he is the best father ever. He is always there, always ready to listen, and he will never stop loving her-even when she has made a mistake! So Bre goes to heaven to meet him...and this book will tell you what happened there!

"As the tears began streaming down her face. Her mama stopped to ask, "will you be ok?" Why doesn't he love me? Bre asked. He always does this! Do you think he's mad?"

How did you come up with ideas for this book?

I was able to tap back into my thoughts, feelings, and emotions as I once felt as a child and I was able to get back into the shoes of my 7-year-old self. Once I was able to take myself back to that place with the help of the holy spirit it was like the pages just began to write themselves.

 

What do you hope readers will learn/discover from reading your book?

What I want my adult readers to learn/discover is that it never too early to begin to have critical conversations with children. Children are always watching and modeling what we do as adults. So, it is very critical that we as adults set the examples for who we want our children to become because how we choose to interact with them early on will determine how they choose to interact with the world once they are adults. I also want my young readers to know that what happened to them does not define who they are but it’s what they decide to do with themselves after the moment passes that determines who they will become.

 

What inspired you to write this book? 

Definitely the leading of the holy spirit and wanting to bring healing to the younger generation and their families. When I was writing this book, I found that I was able to pour a lot of myself into the main character and was able to tap back into stories of trauma that I endured as a child such as not feeling loved by own my father. Although, years later we have reconciled our relationship the years of trauma that I endured behind it left me with a lot of deep wounds and scars that I am just now working on getting healed through the help of trauma therapy. If I can help any family or child not have to go the same route that I did that’s my goal.

 

What’s next for you?

Currently, I am launching my own Coaching and Consulting firm Called Child Enrichment Solutions LLC. I help youth identify negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions that inhibit them from personal achievement utilize constructive coping strategies that will  lead to  happy, empowered, and successful lives. Secondly, I am working on getting my second book ready to be published sometime around easter. Lastly, I am working on getting a few speaking engagements lined up to help motivate and encourage the youth.

 

In five words describe your book.

Jesus, Faith, Family, Unconditional Love, and Joy.

Any advice to give to aspiring writers? 

My biggest piece of advice would be to just begin writing. I know I’ve always wanted to write books for years but, would always get stuck in my head on what and how I should write. I know during the writing process google was my best friend. I also joined a lot of fb writing and author groups; this has helped me to see what type of publications others are putting out there. Once you have written your book, I suggest allowing friends and family to read it, especially if you have teacher friend’s they can save you a lot of time and money when it comes to editing. Then after they look at it go to Fiverr.com and hire a professional editor to overlook your book and provide you with suggestions. From there, you can look up a graphic design artist that will help design book covers as well as format your book. When it comes to self-publishing look to do so on Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble. However, if you want  to go the more traditional publishing route, I definitely say do research on the company that matches your values, standards of quality, and know how much you are willing to invest.
