I love the premise of your book!
I'm the author of The Secret Lives of People - Real Diary Excerpts from Modern Day America. I also manage book projects for people who don't have time to publish their own book, and do book publishing consulting/workshops to teach people how to publish and market their book for FREE. Yes, I spent $2000+ getting my book published, but I help other authors avoid my costly mistakes. I give discounts on my checklist & video tutorial to people who ask nicely too. :)

This thread is so awesome. The book that I published is Win No Matter What: A Guide to Hyping Up Your Life. It's a book made up of powerful inspirational stories. Better yet, I'm donating a portion of all profits to Acumen, a charity investing in solutions to global poverty.I'm also working on a new nonfiction book right now, and can't wait to share it with all of you!
Looking forward to getting to know everybody. Let's talk :)

ATTENTION AUTHORS: A New Book by Rev. Allen Smith has just been published! If you are interested in formatting, publishing, and marketing your own Amazon Kindle book, then “THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO KINDLE PUBLISHING USING MICROSOFT WORD” was written just for you. The 5 Star Reviews are already coming in. Here is an example of what is being said:“One buys many nonfiction books online hoping to get some real golden nuggets in the content and sad to say most times one gets zero. The Ultimate Guide to Kindle Publishing with Microsoft is fantastic. The thought and the planning that went into this book was incredible. Full, full to the brim with golden nuggets. I am not a techie person so really needed a book like this so clearly explained for the inexperienced like myself. I really can recommend it. Thank you so very much Rev. Allen Smith.”

Liza LugoHow Do Hurricane Katrina's Winds Blow?: Racism in 21st-Century New OrleansHow Do Hurricane Katrina’s Winds Blow? Racism in 21st Century New Orleans,by UF Law alumna and legal scholar Liza Lugo, JD, was released worldwide by ABC-CLIO Praeger Publishing on March 31, 2014.
How Do Hurricane Katrina’s Winds Blow? is the second book in Praeger Publishing’s new series Racism in American Institutions, a series that, according to series editor, Brian D. Behnken, “examines the ways in which racism has become, and remains, a part of the fabric of many American institutions.” Lugo explains in the book: “What we are now witnessing in the 21st century is the fracture or complete breakdown of families, societies, and governments as a result of centuries of dehumanization that have taken a toll. More natural disasters (tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, etc.) merely uncover the reality of the national disasters we have created by granting sanctuary to dehumanization via the law.” That dehumanization disproportionately affected racial and gender minorities.
According to Antonio R. Flores, President and CEO, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, How Do Hurricane Katrina’s Winds Blow? is: “...an eye-opening examination of the galvanization of forces across decades that targeted a specific segment of the American populace, ending in the tragic fragmentation of individuals, families, and communities from the American way of life that is espoused to cherish life, liberty, and equality.”
How Do Hurricane Katrina’s Winds Blow? Racism in 21st Century New Orleans is available now on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, numerous college bookstores, and via the publisher’s website at: http://www.abc-clio.com/product.aspx?....
Ms. Lugo received her juris doctor from the University of Florida Levin College of Law and holds a bachelor’s degree in government and world affairs from the University of Tampa where she graduated magna cum laude. Book tour stops include El Paso, TX; New Orleans, LA; Huntington, NY; and the Tampa Bay area. Additional locations are being added to the tour.

Greetings to all, my name is Angelo J. Falanga. The Native American composer, bandleader and electric bassist Frank A. Stokes who is the subject of my book did not live to see the work completed. His wife is also gone, as is another remarkable Native American musician I had interviewed, the drummer Bleu Ocean.
Frank A. Stokes coined the term "Stokesified" to describe how any sound he heard he made his own. Please help those of us who knew Mr. Stokes keep his memory alive.

Hi. I have just published Ajak's Song. Ajak's Song is a narrative of my experience as a surgeon working in South Sudan with Doctors Without Borders. I have attempted to take the reader with me on a journey to a Dinka village in the heart of South Sudan. There we experience a land of fierce beauty and magical tribal culture, juxtaposed with the tragedy of untreated disease and injury. As our appreciation of our village and it's people unfolds, we begin to understand that despite the ravages of the past and the suffering of the present, South Sudan is filled with hope for the future. Ajak is a young girl whose leg is nearly lost from a terrible snake bite. I operate on Ajak multiple times in desperate attempt to save her leg. Each time she awakens from anesthesia, Ajak opens her eyes, smiles, and begins to sing a beautiful song of hope.
Hi. I'm Wes, and I'm a writer (I've waited so long to be able to say that). At age 63, I've just published my first book. City Sketches (non-fiction, travel, memoir) - so never give up on your dream - and if you have, as I did for many years, then fight to reclaim it!

Hi everybody!My name is Nihar Suthar and I am a college student at Cornell. I am also an author who writes inspirational books.
I published a book titled Win No Matter What: A Guide to Hyping Up Your Life last year. Now, I am working on a new book titled "The Corridor of Uncertainty." The book is about the Afghanistan cricket team. I have already started it, but to finish a lot of my research, I have to actually go to Pakistan/Afghanistan to experience the refugee camps that the cricket players grew up in, the environment, etc. This is quite expensive for an 18-year old kid...haha! It would mean so much to me if you could donate a few dollars on the link below so that I can finish up my research and the book in the next few months:

To offer fresh perspective on current events, writing, reading, and graphic art, I've recently launched my author website and blog at AFCHAPIN.COM. Definitely check it out when you get a chance. Also, if you've had the chance to read FROM TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPH - The Story of John Tartaglio, please let me know what you think on Goodreads and Amazon. I'm ALWAYS looking for new reviews. If you have a BLOG and want to review FROM TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPH, DM me and we can work something out.
If you haven't read it yet, it's an easy, inspirational read about the young man who lost his legs to a rare bacterial infection and went on to triumph over not only the New York City Marathon but his disability as well.
Thanks for the support,
Andrew Chapin
