When you work the #indiepublishing circuit, you meet a lot of people. If you're afraid to network, it can be overwhelming at time. But if you fight against that fear, then you never know who you might meet. That person could very well help you with your next #book project.Find me on your favorite social media: https://linktr.ee/angelakayaustinRecently, I participated in the Black Ink Festival thanks to Savannah J. Frierson. Because of that #book event, I met #DeeBowden. After Dee and I connected, we thought it would be great to share her story with all of you.Dee has worked with companies over the past years to help them recover cash. And now she's written a book that I think would be great for small business owners.But her story itself is also interesting. The "why" behind why she writes is interesting and I think so many of us #selfpublished #authors have probably had similar stories. In fact, entrepreneurs, in general, I'm certain have this story.Join us to learn more about Dee and why she writes!!Don't forget to check out my #YouTube channel for more of this episode!Here's more about Dee.As featured in Forbes Magazine, Dee Bowden founded BCS Solutions, a revenue recovery company, from a personal desire to see small businesses learn to solve cash flow problems.After recovering $7.5 million for a large government agency, Dee recognized small businesses also fall prey to revenue loss because they don’t collect the outstanding invoices. That is why she is on a mission to serve them and grow their financial bottom line by sharing her five-step system. Also featured in Thrive Global Magazine, Dee has over 10 years of financial recovery experience in which she collected over $10 million for several companies and other government agencies. Dee was featured in Black Enterprise Magazine in the article “Sealing the Money Leaks 5 Ways to Secure Your Cash Flow”https://www.blackenterprise.com/sealing-the-money-leaks-5-ways-to-secure-your-cash-flow/Dee was featured in Thrive Global magazine in the article “Money Matters: Dee Bowden Helps Entrepreneurs Achieve Financial Peace” https://thriveglobal.com/stories/money-matters-dee-bowden-helps-entrepreneurs-achieve-financial-peace/Dee was featured in Speakers Magazine in the article “I Just Spoke Now Where is My Check “https://www.speakersmagazine.net/i-just-spoke-now-where-is-my-check-by-dee-bowden/?fbclid=IwAR1wzVwcIyGrbF1KXKxZZF9g6A4vr9sjRCW6tXEiAIyXo_PYtQgIUcVWlnETo Learn more, go to www.collectthecash.biz/book.
SEASON FINALE Can Romance and Culture connect? Romance in Colour is starting a new series, Writing in Colour, where we talk to authors of color from various backgrounds and locations, who are writing in the romance genre. We are highlighting the diversity of the genre and highlighting #Ownvoices with authors who are actively working to amplify writing that is unique, diverse, and most of all, romantic. When you think of the word "polyamory" do you think romance? Probably not. But author Savannah J. Frierson wants us to rethink the notion of what makes something, even a relationship, truly romantic and fulfilling. Our last author in our Writing in Colour series, the Harvard educated, South Carolina Native tells us how she got her agent, her inspirations for writing, and what it truly means to be a " late bloomer". We also get into a lively discussion on the newest and latest romance books on the market. In watching Romance, Tati recommends Catching Feelings (Netflix), complicated romantic comedy out of South Africa.

We've discussed editing before. Let's dig in a little deeper. What is the difference between the various steps of editing? Do you know? Do you need someone different to do each step? Can you skip any of the steps?Honestly, we know these are the questions that all self-published authors have when they first begin. Because the thing is, you have a story that you want to tell and, of course, you think it's the bestest story ever, right. You don't need (or want) anyone messing up your work. But also, you don't want anyone changing the story that you want to tell. The first time I had a rejection letter from a publisher, I remember my heart sinking. But now, when I go back and think about it, I think, wow, I sent that in to a publisher. What was I thinking?I sent in an unedited manuscript that mimicked what I read from authors who came before me. My voice wasn't even clearly developed in the work I sent out because I don't think I really knew what that truly meant.I'm of the opinion that having a team helps you develop a stronger clearer voice and, eventually, you tell better stories.Let's dig in with my friend Savannah J. Frierson to discuss the steps of editing, and then you tell us, do you think you need an editor anywhere along the way to help you tell your story.
