Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hello, you have reached.
Published in Black Radio withTiffany A Greenhood.
I am your host today.
It's good to be back and todaywe're going to dig right in
right.
So let me just remind you, thisis the show that is going to
get you right, get you straightwhen it comes to self-publishing
your book, okay.
(01:01):
When it comes to keeping allyour royalties.
When it comes to differentcreative ways that you can sell
your book, promote your book,market your book, everything
books, okay.
No author left behind, okay.
So today I'm going to dive rightin and we will be discussing
anthologies.
(01:21):
How about that?
We will be talking aboutanthologies.
Today.
We're going to talk about howto make 50 to 100k with your
book without writing a word.
Yes, I said it.
I know it sounds crazy, I knowyou probably never heard this
before, but guess what?
(01:42):
That's why I'm here.
I'm here to teach you all thestuff you never heard before,
you never thought of, you neverthought you could do.
You thought you needed this,this and that to do.
You thought you needed a bunchof money to do Absolutely not.
So I'm here to give you thereal deal.
So what is an anthology?
So an anthology is when youpublish a book but you invite co
(02:03):
authors, what we call we callco-authors, which is other
people.
Okay, so, for those who havecommunities, yes, this would
definitely be assigned topastors, leaders, evangelists,
like whatever title.
If you are in a position ofleadership, this is definitely
the marketing tool for you thatworks when it comes to your book
(02:26):
.
Ok, so what is an anthology?
An anthology is when you inviteco-authors to come and publish
with you.
You can do that, you absolutelycan, but here's the key that
nobody tell you you can chargethem what really, yes, really,
(02:47):
you can charge them to write achapter in your book.
Why would you do that?
So many reasons why I'm so gladyou asked why would you do that
?
Number one let's talk aboutsome of the benefits of an
anthology.
Okay, so, when you inviteco-authors into your book, right
(03:08):
, so this means that you createthe title.
You are still the author, eventhough you are inviting
co-authors in with you.
It's so many amazing benefitsto this.
This one of my favorite topics,if you can't already tell, I
love talking about anthologiesbecause it's so profitable.
Number one it's profitable andit opens up so many doors as far
(03:30):
as even building your community, building a team.
You know, it gives you aninstant writing team.
It gives you an instantmarketing team.
You become an instant publisher, you know, if you've never
published anyone else.
Well, guess what If you have 25, 30 people in one book?
Guess what?
Now you can use that andpromote yourself and market
(03:53):
yourself.
Yes, I have published 30authors.
What?
Yes, when they write a chapterin your book.
Yes, you can, you can.
It's so many different creativeways to market that.
So, yeah, yeah, so that's whatan anthology is.
An anthology is and you may hearpeople say a book collaboration
or something like that, but the, the terminology that I use is
(04:15):
anthology and it's been aroundfor years.
Okay, I just I think that ourcommunity just got wind of it,
maybe some in the recent years,and so we are taking that thing
and running with it.
So, um, so with your anthology,you can invite co-authors in to
(04:35):
publish with you.
You will be charging them a feeif you want to do one and and
have it at no cost.
You can absolutely do that.
What theme would you use?
Your theme is going to be whatthe book is about.
Like what?
What would their chapters haveto be focused on?
So it's so many, oh my God, sookay.
So you have cancer survivors.
(04:57):
I mean you can just take thatand just blow it all up, right,
you can do cancer.
You can do a thing how I madeit through.
Who doesn't have a story?
You tell me who is living andbreathing, no matter what
nationality, what culture, doesnot have a story that they made
(05:19):
it through, how I made itthrough.
That's a theme right there.
So you, I mean it don't evenhave to be something really,
really deep.
You don't have to overthinkthis.
You don't have to like, like,dig too deep.
It's simple.
Just take simple things thatyou just just just that you
yourself have been through, orpeople that are connected to you
, people who are around you whohave been through certain things
(05:42):
.
Everyone has been throughthings.
And let me tell you somethingthe reason why I love another
reason why because there's somany reasons why I love
publishing so much is because itgives you the opportunity to
release your story and the powerin releasing your story,
whether it's in an anthology,whether it's your own anthology
(06:05):
or whether you are writing yourown book.
It's therapy.
Let's just sit that right therefor a minute.
It's therapy when you hold inwhat you have been through.
Number one you're stoppingother people from being blessed
from your story and what you'vebeen through.
Let me say that again when youhold it in, you are stopping
(06:28):
other people from being blessedfrom your story and what you
accomplished and what you madeit through, because you didn't
just make it through for noreason, that's.
You know what I'm saying.
Let's remember that.
So, yeah, so that is whatanthology is, so you can
absolutely publish your ownanthology.
(06:49):
I encourage you to not leavethis earth without publishing
your own anthology.
Period.
Anthologies are, I'm going tosay, across social media.
I see them all the time,probably because I'm in that
space, but it's still not sopopular.
(07:11):
But when I tell you, it opensup so many doors which and it's
good that it's not so popular,because that gives you now the
opportunity to put together yourplan and publish your own
anthology.
So, like I said, it's perfectfor anyone who is in a
leadership position.
Why, tiffany?
(07:32):
The reason I say that isbecause you already have an
audience.
You already have an audience,you already have the people.
So let's just say so.
This has been, this has been onme for like the last, I'm gonna
say, eight months.
I've been real heavy on thisand I'm opening up a whole new
(07:52):
sector for pastors leaders, uh,whatever your title is but if
you are in ministry,specifically pastors, and you
have a congregation, you have achurch and you have members and
you already have a book, it'sperfect.
(08:13):
And I'm going to ask you thisquestion you published a book
about your story, right?
So that was about you.
That's great.
But I want to ask you, whyhaven't you invited your members
to publish with you?
And let's just be, let's keepit real.
People be crazy about theirpastors, we crazy about our
(08:36):
pastors.
Okay and so.
But here's the thing when apastor, a leader, a minister
whatever your title is bishop,evangelist, whatever it is when
you open up an opportunity foryour members, your community, to
publish with you, do you knowwhat that's saying?
(09:00):
That's even more powerful thanyou publishing your own book,
because not only are you givingthem the ability to publish with
you, but let's just be honest,most people, most individuals
who have been through things,are not going to write their own
book.
We'll sit there, right there.
(09:21):
They're not.
They're not, for some reasonwhen it comes to writing a book.
I mean, it's a lot of things inlife that we do that.
You know it takes a lot out ofyou and it's something
especially when you're writingabout your own life.
It's a lot, it's very emotional, it's healing.
It's a whole lot of differentemotions you go through.
So I get it.
(09:41):
It's not always an easy task,it's very challenging, but it's
so worth it and it's so powerful.
But when you are, when youinvite your co-authors to
publish with you, you areinviting them to release their
story without having to publishtheir entire book.
What, come on now?
Come on, you can't tell me thatthat's not powerful.
(10:03):
So this gives them opportunityfor a fee.
We talking about the feeBecause we going to get to the
money Because y'all know I'm notgoing to come on here and I'm
not going to teach you somethingand not show you how to get to
the money.
Okay, because they're.
Come on, let's keep it real.
God didn't call us to bestruggling.
(10:27):
He did not call us tofinancially struggle.
So any topic that I talk aboutis definitely going to end with
how we get to the money.
Okay, so let's talk about that.
So when you bring them in topublish with you, one of the
greatest benefits is that theyget to release their story in
one chapter, right?
(10:48):
So normally your limit is aboutcause you always want to give
them a limit, because ourstories it will turn into a
whole book, but they don't evenneed to write that much.
There's an outline that you canuse and it makes it very simple
to write.
Some people have never writtenabout their own experiences
about their own experiences, youknow.
So you give them an opportunityto be a part of your project,
(11:12):
but you also and one of thebenefits of them writing in your
book.
Guess what you're going to do?
So your fee is going to be athousand dollars.
Come on, let's talk about it,cause I know you want to hear
about this money part, right?
So how do you make thisprosperous, right?
So, tiffany, who going to buy?
I always hear authors say,tiffany, who gonna buy my book?
Well, who gone bad?
Though ain't nobody gone bad.
(11:33):
Change that mindset.
First of all, they're not gonnabad because you're thinking
like that.
So your mindset needs to beeverybody gonna buy this book.
This book gonna be powerful,it's gonna sell and and we gonna
have a good old timecelebrating, right?
So you're going to charge eachco-author $1,000.
That's going to cover themwriting in your book.
(11:56):
That's going to cover all theproduction and everything else
y'all got going on for this book, because we're going to do
press releases, we're going todo all types of stuff.
Yeah, we get to the nittygritty.
This is called real marketing.
And so you charge them $1,000 apiece.
Right, let's say you got 25people.
25 people say, yes, I'm readyto write my story.
You charge each co-author theseare co-authors, this is the
(12:20):
technical word for them right,you charge each one of them
$1,000.
That's $25,000.
What?
The book ain't printed yet.
It ain't written yet.
What, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Tiff, you saying I just createdmy own advance.
Absolutely, don't play with me.
(12:41):
If you got 50 people, that's50K, but let's just stick with
the 25.
Okay, I don't want to.
You know, I don't want you toget too deep in this and feel
like it's a little too much.
I don't want you to be stressedout thinking about it.
Okay, cause it's powerful.
So, a thousand people, I mean,I'm sorry, a thousand dollars
for 25 coauthors.
(13:03):
Okay, then let's say we do thisfour times a year.
Let's say we do this four timesa year.
So, wait, 25,000, quarter, one,quarter, two, quarter three.
Now we have published fourbooks.
Remember, I told you you don'thave to think deep for a thing.
Okay, you got.
(13:24):
How did I make it through?
Um cancer survivors, um called.
Make it through Cancersurvivors Called by God.
Who ain't called?
You know what I'm saying?
So it's so many differentthemes that you can use, but you
publish this book four times.
You have a different theme foreach book.
You publish four times in oneyear.
(13:46):
Okay, that is what?
75?
No, that's a hundred K, rightthere.
Quarter one, quarter two is 50K.
Quarter three, quarter four is50 K, 50 K and 50 K equals what?
A hundred K you mean?
You done made a hundred K frompublishing your books,
(14:08):
no-transcript.
Okay, that's powerful andthat's what we have been called
to do.
Okay, that's your storehouseright there up front.
So we're going to take a break.
I know this is a whole lot ofinformation, so I'm going to go
ahead and give you a break andI'm going to play this amazing
(14:29):

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Okay, we are back.
So how many of y'all rememberthat song?
Let's talk about that for aminute.
How many of y'all remember that?
I love y'all.
I love the 80s old schoolgospel.
There is nothing like it.
So, with that being said, Ihope that song gave you some
(20:14):
time to chat in your own headabout how long you've been
waiting to publish your book, topublish your message, to gather
your people together and getthe people around you to publish
, because that's what we'retalking about today.
We are talking about anthologies.
Okay, so with an anthology,it's just not you by yourself.
You're the visionary Right, andyou're the visionary right and
(20:36):
and you're the one that thatcome up with the theme and all
that, but your people, yourcommunity, your co-authors is
what is going to create thecontent, and so that's why I
titled this how to make 50 to100k without writing a word,
because you don't have to writeanything if you don't want to um
(20:57):
, when you are um, publishing ananthology and I encourage every
author to publish your ownanthology it's okay to be a part
of them, but I like teachingthe co-authors and people who
you know, just not familiar withit, how to publish your own
anthology.
So let's dig back in.
(21:17):
So we were at the a hundred K.
Y'all just showed y'all how tomake a hundred K from your book
before you write it, before youpublish it, before you print it
right, how to get your, yourcash advance up front.
But I showed you how to get asix figure cash advance.
This is why I say don't besigning them contracts.
Y'all, we talked about thatlast week.
Don't be signing no contracts,okay, because this is one
(21:43):
creative strategy that you canuse to create your own six
figure advance.
That's cash, cash.
Okay.
And so, anywho, some otherthings I want to point out.
You know.
So, like I said, the benefitsof you publishing and I always
reference pastors, pastors,leaders, ministers you know,
(22:08):
come on, everybody's talkingabout, have been talking about
for years, about writing a book,but you never see it.
You never.
You know what I'm saying.
It's just something to say wenot doing that.
We are not just talking aboutwhat we going to do 2025.
I said that last week 2025 isthe year that you need to go
(22:28):
ahead and do that, get it done.
You know what I'm saying.
So I want to point out a coupleof things.
So your instant, yourco-authors is your instant
writing team.
Your co-authors are yourinstant marketing team.
Right, this is your team.
You don't got to do everythingby yourself.
So you have a team of peoplethat are helping you write this
(22:50):
book.
Okay, they're going to help yousell it.
All of that, everybody's goingto help you sell it.
All of that, everybody's goingto benefit because you also
going to give them a license topurchase copies from you at a
wholesale rate and resell theirown copies and profit.
Yes, absolutely so.
It's so many different ways and, um, I'm going to let you know
(23:12):
how you can start to work onyour own.
Of course I have a blueprint.
Of course I do.
Okay, but I want to just giveyou this one little tip.
Do you all remember the moviethe Help?
Y'all remember that movie?
If not, go look it up, goGoogle it.
Well, it's one of my favoritemovies, right?
And it was about how all themaids in the South got together
(23:36):
and the one lady wanted to do abook.
Do y'all realize I didn'trealize it till last year that
was an anthology, that was ananthology.
Go look the movie up.
If you ain't seen the movie,you wrong.
Go look the movie up, watch themovie that was an anthology
that lady put together with allthe maids.
They came together and toldtheir own story and all the dirt
that they was having, right.
(23:56):
So I just want to mention thatbecause anthologies are more
popular than you know and verybeneficial and absolutely create
that wealth that you aroundhere looking for is writing your
story, okay.
So I want to talk about thebenefits that you can offer.
You create opportunities forincrease.
(24:17):
You're creating authors andpublishers right, first time
authors and when they publishtheir own story they are
actually become a publisher,creating another income stream
and product.
And you're giving others anopportunity to publish and write
with you.
Like why not?
Okay, so if you want to know howto publish and get started with
(24:42):
planning out your own anthology, okay, you can either contact
me to assist you with that.
Of course, I offer the service,right.

(03:53):
yourself.
Yes, I have published 30authors.
What?
Yes, when they write a chapterin your book.
Yes, you can, you can.
It's so many different creativeways to market that.
So, yeah, yeah, so that's whatan anthology is.
An anthology is and you may hearpeople say a book collaboration
or something like that, but the, the terminology that I use is
(04:15):
anthology and it's been aroundfor years.
Okay, I just I think that ourcommunity just got wind of it,
maybe some in the recent years,and so we are taking that thing
and running with it.
So, um, so with your anthology,you can invite co-authors in to
(04:35):
publish with you.
You will be charging them a feeif you want to do one and and
have it at no cost.
You can absolutely do that.
What theme would you use?
Your theme is going to be whatthe book is about.
Like what?
What would their chapters haveto be focused on?
So it's so many, oh my God, sookay.
So you have cancer survivors.
(04:57):
I mean you can just take thatand just blow it all up, right,
you can do cancer.
You can do a thing how I madeit through.
Who doesn't have a story?
You tell me who is living andbreathing, no matter what
nationality, what culture, doesnot have a story that they made
(05:19):
it through, how I made itthrough.
That's a theme right there.
So you, I mean it don't evenhave to be something really,
really deep.
You don't have to overthinkthis.
You don't have to like, like,dig too deep.
It's simple.
Just take simple things thatyou just just just that you
yourself have been through, orpeople that are connected to you
, people who are around you whohave been through certain things
(05:42):
.
Everyone has been throughthings.
And let me tell you somethingthe reason why I love another
reason why because there's somany reasons why I love
publishing so much is because itgives you the opportunity to
release your story and the powerin releasing your story,
whether it's in an anthology,whether it's your own anthology
(06:05):
or whether you are writing yourown book.
It's therapy.
Let's just sit that right therefor a minute.
It's therapy when you hold inwhat you have been through.
Number one you're stoppingother people from being blessed
from your story and what you'vebeen through.
Let me say that again when youhold it in, you are stopping
(06:28):
other people from being blessedfrom your story and what you
accomplished and what you madeit through, because you didn't
just make it through for noreason, that's.
You know what I'm saying.
Let's remember that.
So, yeah, so that is whatanthology is, so you can
absolutely publish your ownanthology.
(06:49):
I encourage you to not leavethis earth without publishing
your own anthology.
Period.
Anthologies are, I'm going tosay, across social media.
I see them all the time,probably because I'm in that
space, but it's still not sopopular.
(07:11):
But when I tell you, it opensup so many doors which and it's
good that it's not so popular,because that gives you now the
opportunity to put together yourplan and publish your own
anthology.
So, like I said, it's perfectfor anyone who is in a
leadership position.
Why, tiffany?
(07:32):
The reason I say that isbecause you already have an
audience.
You already have an audience,you already have the people.
So let's just say so.
This has been, this has been onme for like the last, I'm gonna
say, eight months.
I've been real heavy on thisand I'm opening up a whole new
(07:52):
sector for pastors leaders, uh,whatever your title is but if
you are in ministry,specifically pastors, and you
have a congregation, you have achurch and you have members and
you already have a book, it'sperfect.
(08:13):
And I'm going to ask you thisquestion you published a book
about your story, right?
So that was about you.
That's great.
But I want to ask you, whyhaven't you invited your members
to publish with you?
And let's just be, let's keepit real.
People be crazy about theirpastors, we crazy about our
(08:36):
pastors.
Okay and so.
But here's the thing when apastor, a leader, a minister
whatever your title is bishop,evangelist, whatever it is when
you open up an opportunity foryour members, your community, to
publish with you, do you knowwhat that's saying?
(09:00):
That's even more powerful thanyou publishing your own book,
because not only are you givingthem the ability to publish with
you, but let's just be honest,most people, most individuals
who have been through things,are not going to write their own
book.
We'll sit there, right there.
(09:21):
They're not.
They're not, for some reasonwhen it comes to writing a book.
I mean, it's a lot of things inlife that we do that.
You know it takes a lot out ofyou and it's something
especially when you're writingabout your own life.
It's a lot, it's very emotional, it's healing.
It's a whole lot of differentemotions you go through.
So I get it.
(09:41):
It's not always an easy task,it's very challenging, but it's
so worth it and it's so powerful.
But when you are, when youinvite your co-authors to
publish with you, you areinviting them to release their
story without having to publishtheir entire book.
What, come on now?
Come on, you can't tell me thatthat's not powerful.
(10:03):
So this gives them opportunityfor a fee.
We talking about the feeBecause we going to get to the
money Because y'all know I'm notgoing to come on here and I'm
not going to teach you somethingand not show you how to get to
the money.
Okay, because they're.
Come on, let's keep it real.
God didn't call us to bestruggling.
(10:27):
He did not call us tofinancially struggle.
So any topic that I talk aboutis definitely going to end with
how we get to the money.
Okay, so let's talk about that.
So when you bring them in topublish with you, one of the
greatest benefits is that theyget to release their story in
one chapter, right?
(10:48):
So normally your limit is aboutcause you always want to give
them a limit, because ourstories it will turn into a
whole book, but they don't evenneed to write that much.
There's an outline that you canuse and it makes it very simple
to write.
Some people have never writtenabout their own experiences
about their own experiences, youknow.
So you give them an opportunityto be a part of your project,
(11:12):
but you also and one of thebenefits of them writing in your
book.
Guess what you're going to do?
So your fee is going to be athousand dollars.
Come on, let's talk about it,cause I know you want to hear
about this money part, right?
So how do you make thisprosperous, right?
So, tiffany, who going to buy?
I always hear authors say,tiffany, who gonna buy my book?
Well, who gone bad?
Though ain't nobody gone bad.
(11:33):
Change that mindset.
First of all, they're not gonnabad because you're thinking
like that.
So your mindset needs to beeverybody gonna buy this book.
This book gonna be powerful,it's gonna sell and and we gonna
have a good old timecelebrating, right?
So you're going to charge eachco-author $1,000.
That's going to cover themwriting in your book.
(11:56):
That's going to cover all theproduction and everything else
y'all got going on for this book, because we're going to do
press releases, we're going todo all types of stuff.
Yeah, we get to the nittygritty.
This is called real marketing.
And so you charge them $1,000 apiece.
Right, let's say you got 25people.
25 people say, yes, I'm readyto write my story.
You charge each co-author theseare co-authors, this is the
(12:20):
technical word for them right,you charge each one of them
$1,000.
That's $25,000.
What?
The book ain't printed yet.
It ain't written yet.
What, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Tiff, you saying I just createdmy own advance.
Absolutely, don't play with me.
(12:41):
If you got 50 people, that's50K, but let's just stick with
the 25.
Okay, I don't want to.
You know, I don't want you toget too deep in this and feel
like it's a little too much.
I don't want you to be stressedout thinking about it.
Okay, cause it's powerful.
So, a thousand people, I mean,I'm sorry, a thousand dollars
for 25 coauthors.
(13:03):
Okay, then let's say we do thisfour times a year.
Let's say we do this four timesa year.
So, wait, 25,000, quarter, one,quarter, two, quarter three.
Now we have published fourbooks.
Remember, I told you you don'thave to think deep for a thing.
Okay, you got.
(13:24):
How did I make it through?
Um cancer survivors, um called.
Make it through Cancersurvivors Called by God.
Who ain't called?
You know what I'm saying?
So it's so many differentthemes that you can use, but you
publish this book four times.
You have a different theme foreach book.
You publish four times in oneyear.
(13:46):
Okay, that is what?
75?
No, that's a hundred K, rightthere.
Quarter one, quarter two is 50K.
Quarter three, quarter four is50 K, 50 K and 50 K equals what?
A hundred K you mean?
You done made a hundred K frompublishing your books,
(14:08):
no-transcript.
Okay, that's powerful andthat's what we have been called
to do.
Okay, that's your storehouseright there up front.
So we're going to take a break.
I know this is a whole lot ofinformation, so I'm going to go
ahead and give you a break andI'm going to play this amazing
(14:29):
song and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (14:48):

I'm so mad about it.
(19:37):
Whatever it is, it won't hurtme.
I just can't Hold my peace.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Okay, we are back.
So how many of y'all rememberthat song?
Let's talk about that for aminute.
How many of y'all remember that?
I love y'all.
I love the 80s old schoolgospel.
There is nothing like it.
So, with that being said, Ihope that song gave you some
(20:14):
time to chat in your own headabout how long you've been
waiting to publish your book, topublish your message, to gather
your people together and getthe people around you to publish
, because that's what we'retalking about today.
We are talking about anthologies.
Okay, so with an anthology,it's just not you by yourself.
You're the visionary Right, andyou're the visionary right and
(20:36):
and you're the one that thatcome up with the theme and all
that, but your people, yourcommunity, your co-authors is
what is going to create thecontent, and so that's why I
titled this how to make 50 to100k without writing a word,
because you don't have to writeanything if you don't want to um
(20:57):
, when you are um, publishing ananthology and I encourage every
author to publish your ownanthology it's okay to be a part
of them, but I like teachingthe co-authors and people who
you know, just not familiar withit, how to publish your own
anthology.
So let's dig back in.
(21:17):
So we were at the a hundred K.
Y'all just showed y'all how tomake a hundred K from your book
before you write it, before youpublish it, before you print it
right, how to get your, yourcash advance up front.
But I showed you how to get asix figure cash advance.
This is why I say don't besigning them contracts.
Y'all, we talked about thatlast week.
Don't be signing no contracts,okay, because this is one
(21:43):
creative strategy that you canuse to create your own six
figure advance.
That's cash, cash.
Okay.
And so, anywho, some otherthings I want to point out.
You know.
So, like I said, the benefitsof you publishing and I always
reference pastors, pastors,leaders, ministers you know,
(22:08):
come on, everybody's talkingabout, have been talking about
for years, about writing a book,but you never see it.
You never.
You know what I'm saying.
It's just something to say wenot doing that.
We are not just talking aboutwhat we going to do 2025.
I said that last week 2025 isthe year that you need to go
(22:28):
ahead and do that, get it done.
You know what I'm saying.
So I want to point out a coupleof things.
So your instant, yourco-authors is your instant
writing team.
Your co-authors are yourinstant marketing team.
Right, this is your team.
You don't got to do everythingby yourself.
So you have a team of peoplethat are helping you write this
(22:50):
book.
Okay, they're going to help yousell it.
All of that, everybody's goingto help you sell it.
All of that, everybody's goingto benefit because you also
going to give them a license topurchase copies from you at a
wholesale rate and resell theirown copies and profit.
Yes, absolutely so.
It's so many different ways and, um, I'm going to let you know
(23:12):
how you can start to work onyour own.
Of course I have a blueprint.
Of course I do.
Okay, but I want to just giveyou this one little tip.
Do you all remember the moviethe Help?
Y'all remember that movie?
If not, go look it up, goGoogle it.
Well, it's one of my favoritemovies, right?
And it was about how all themaids in the South got together
(23:36):
and the one lady wanted to do abook.
Do y'all realize I didn'trealize it till last year that
was an anthology, that was ananthology.
Go look the movie up.
If you ain't seen the movie,you wrong.
Go look the movie up, watch themovie that was an anthology
that lady put together with allthe maids.
They came together and toldtheir own story and all the dirt
that they was having, right.
(23:56):
So I just want to mention thatbecause anthologies are more
popular than you know and verybeneficial and absolutely create
that wealth that you aroundhere looking for is writing your
story, okay.
So I want to talk about thebenefits that you can offer.
You create opportunities forincrease.
(24:17):
You're creating authors andpublishers right, first time
authors and when they publishtheir own story they are
actually become a publisher,creating another income stream
and product.
And you're giving others anopportunity to publish and write
with you.
Like why not?
Okay, so if you want to know howto publish and get started with
(24:42):
planning out your own anthology, okay, you can either contact
me to assist you with that.
Of course, I offer the service,right.

anthology can I publish,especially if you're a pastor?
Come on now.
Pastors, leaders, evangelists,all these other titles we got

invited them to publish andwrite with you.
