Joining “The Winner’s Circle!”

Now for the long-awaited announcement!

Hello!

I stopped by recently to give you a “heads up” for what was coming for me.

Now that it is official, I want to share it with you.

Click this link for the announcement: https://www.facebook.com/reel/3836421836670597

I accepted an offer to join www.emboldenmediagroup.com as a Production Editor! I will take my skills that I’ve developed over the years and support Jevon Bolden for independent publishing clients.

The story of how this happened was shared in my video testimony online. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1HUE3shtez/

This has been a whirlwind of events in the best way possible.

So – if you want to consult with me for your book in the future, visit me HERE: https://emboldenmediagroup.as.me/meet-with-Michelle

My business will not close, but instead I will be focused on other areas, such as speaking. I have accepted that life must shift, and I am welcoming the shift as I continue doing the things that I believe I am called to do.

Thank you for your continued support!

So…there’s this debate…

Hi!

I’ve tried to stay away from this debate that I’ve seen in writers’ spaces, but I decided to stop by and share my thoughts on this question: Should anyone pay to publish a book?

There are different ways to handle this question, but I will start here: You absolutely CAN publish a book without paying one dime, but everyone is not skilled or patient enough to do it. Some may have the skills but may not want to do it.

If someone wins a publishing contract to publish traditionally, they do not pay to publish (unless they hire editors or beta readers). If someone decides to self-publish (there are different reasons why authors choose this route), there’s the daunting task of figuring out how to self-edit, how to create a book cover, how to ensure that everything is formatted and lined up just right for the publishing platform to approve the files, and how to set everything up on the platform to ensure that all the moving parts fit correctly to produce the book of your dreams.

This is where the hybrid publisher comes on the scene. Authors will pay for certain packages to get their books completed without surrendering their rights. (Traditional publishers purchase the author’s rights when a contract is signed.)

Over time (since 2015) I’ve evolved from one-on-one writing coaching, manuscript editing, to publishing – mainly because clients have asked (and asked….) and I decided to give it a try. To be honest, it was not very difficult because I have 5 books listed, but it was different doing this for someone else. Now with several clients on my publisher’s list, I am preparing to get more into this space. This means becoming more educated on the finer details and preparing to offer clients high-quality service as needed in a timely manner.

So, do you have any questions about hybrid publishing? Do you believe it’s a necessary service, like several of my clients believe?

Editing – My Newest Passion!

Hi everyone,

I had to make a tough decision in 2015 to walk away from my corporate position so I could spend time doing the things that I needed to do, and wanted to do. The timing wasn’t quite as I desired, but the change has opened up my eyes to so many new and exciting things! I’ve had amazing and fulfilling experiences since last summer that I would not have had if I was still working there.

As I was transitioning out, I was editing new authors’ books as a side hustle. I discovered that I enjoyed it immensely! The work can be tedious and time-consuming, but the outcome has placed satisfied smiles on several individuals’ faces, including mine. I have been blessed to meet some very interesting people who decided to write and share their hearts with the world.

As a published author working on my 3rd book, I want to encourage you to write. If you have had unique and interesting experiences, or if you have expertise on a particular topic, please consider sharing it with the world. Yes, a lot of people are writing now, and there’s a good reason for that. Writing gives readers insight into who you are, and what inspires and pushes you. Share that passion with your followers on social media in the form of a book! Many doors have opened for authors: speaking engagements, and interviews before large audiences! Even new positions/employment! If you take the time to write, please take the time (and spend the money!) to edit your writings. Editing refines your work and allows the reader to understand your message easily.

So, write! And when you’re ready to edit, contact me at michellegcameron@gmail.com!
