While I'm sure it would have been easier to have simply published my book as myself through a self-publisher and called it a day- I'm not one who cares for the easy way.
Instead, I took things in a different direction. I decided to create my own publishing company- Modern Mosaic Publishers. I created the name, filed the LLC and designed the logo.
The idea is to create and publish many more books, of course, but the larger reason goes beyond me. I've heard so many people over the years tell me they have a great idea for a book, but just don't know how to get started or what the first thing to do is even.
Getting published by a large publishing company is very difficult but doing it all yourself? Infinitely more so. You have to think of everything and then actually execute on it all.
What if you knew of a publisher that could help? What if that publisher had the same values as you, invested in the community and was dedicated to the BIPOC experience and reflecting our community into the world?
What if...
