First Steps

by TPC 03.31.2010

Yup, the text. Who would’ve thought a simple text message would turn into a train still barreling down a long track with not one, not two, but THREE mofos driving it? I know I didn’t. You may or may not know this, but initially, I was like, “hell no. I’m not going into business with [...]

Humble Beginnings

by TPC 03.30.2010

Allow us to re-introduce ourselves…
Those of you who have been following our story over the past seven weeks know what’s the deal with TPC. You know that last November, aspiring authors Stephanie Casher, James Lewis, and Omar Luqmaan-Harris joined forces to publish 4 novels in 12 months. You know what brought each of us [...]

TPC is an LLC! Oh, Sh**!

by James 03.26.2010

Oh, sh**! It’s official: TPC is an LLC. That’s what we be.
If I had any leftover doubt regarding how far Omar, Steph and I had gotten in this business venture, the thick burgundy notebook from the post office with “The Pantheon Collective (TPC) LLC” on the spine squashed it all. The Pantheon Collective is real [...]

Springing Forward

by Stephanie 03.24.2010

Well, I’m not sure what the weather is like in your corner of the world, but here in California, Spring is upon us (or so the 70 degree temps would have us believe). The sun is out, wildflowers run rampant in the fields, and everything is green… Everywhere you turn, there are signs of new [...]

Patience is a Virtue

by Omar 03.22.2010

I consider myself to be a pretty patient person. I also would say I’m generally positive and upbeat about most aspects of my life, especially TPC. But every now and then, frustration rears its penetrating proboscis and tries its best to poke into my skull and drain my positive mainframe. Now, I [...]

Shoot, I Need A Vacation, Too!

by James 03.19.2010

Steph ain’t the only one out of gas. My tank is nearly on “E,” too. Damn near running on fumes right now and I need a fill up on Premium.
Steph has done her job on SELLOUT; now, it’s my turn. But I wear other hats, too. I’m not only a full-time college student, I work [...]

I Need a Vacation

by Stephanie 03.18.2010

At the 3rd Power Summit, we outlined the phases of SELLOUT pre-production, and the associated deadlines for each phase. In order to have copies printed in time for our appearance at the BWRC in June, we had to pick up the pace. I needed to finish my content edit, ASAP.
I was given a deadline [...]

Back to Earth

by Omar 03.17.2010

We left the Self-Publishing Symposium and had a celebratory dinner at Dos Caminos in Soho. Then we headed out to JFK where Steph and James were holed up for the night. This cramped hotel room became the site of the 3rd Power Summit.
On the agenda, ramping up our online presence, increasing interactivity [...]

Validation

by James 03.12.2010

I really didn’t know what to expect when TPC rolled up in the Schomburg Center, but I know one thing: We employed new attitudes, no longer three starry-eyed wannabes staring up a mountain wondering when we would finally stand on top. As TPC, we were steadily navigating up that mountain with the peak within reach. [...]

Finding Community

by Stephanie 03.11.2010

My experience at the Self-Publishing Symposium was also an incredibly positive one. I am very big on the concept of “community,” and feel that people can make great strides towards achieving their goals through strategic partnership. It is one of the main reasons I decided to partner with James and Omar to start our publishing [...]
