BWRC Rewind: SELLOUT is SO Official!

by Omar 07.07.2010

June 24th, 2010 – Atlanta, GA
W Perimeter Hotel
I descended the elevator from the sixth floor to the lobby as my stomach churned butter into cream. It was 9:15 am. Walking through the lobby and finding James and Steph setting up our booth, I wondered how long it would take for us to make [...]

In my hands…

by TPC 06.16.2010

It’s here.
All pieces accounted for, complete and packaged up, ready for the world to see. Two-hundred and ninety pages of TPC’s first born. Simply put: It’s a beautiful thing to see a dream in your hands. Literally.

Also, [...]

The 5th Power Summit

by TPC 06.14.2010

Well, TPC just wrapped up the 5th Power Summit, and what a hustle session it was! As we rapidly approach the release of our debut novel SELLOUT by James W. Lewis, we have a LOT of strategizing to do to fine-tune our launch and promotional strategy, as well as tying up some loose business [...]

Almost there…

by James 06.07.2010

Yeah, it sure is Showtime, like Omar said. And I may have been breaking ankles with a wicked crossover rewrite, but that doesn’t mean I’m not feeling the heat, constantly trying to be like Mike in my literary endeavors.
Creating a top-notch story in a written format is extremely difficult–plot, character development, pace, lively dialogue–SELLOUT needs [...]

Anxiety…My New Best Friend

by James 05.27.2010

5,172,525 times. That’s the number of edits I’ve made to SELLOUT.
All right, I’m exaggerating, but since early March, I’ve stared at the manuscript so many times, excerpts of the book are probably branded into the whites of my eyeballs. Rewrite after rewrite after f*ckin’ rewrite. Up all hours of the day AND night, trying to [...]

The Cost of Doing Business, Part 2

by Stephanie 05.22.2010

TPC loyalists may have noticed that TPC has been silent for the past week or so. This silence was the result of a mandated rest, recovery, and time-out period brought on by a major TPC blowout. Now, the TPC three have fought before, as is normal and natural in even the strongest relationships, but [...]

Two Many Damn Hats!

by James 05.09.2010

I usually sport a skin-fade, but even if rocked dreadlocks, I still wouldn’t have much hair because I would’ve yanked out half those bad boys by now, just like the weeds in my backyard. I mean, damn, what the hell did we get ourselves into with this whole publisher-slash-small business-slash-author thing? And all at the [...]

The Cost of Doing Business

by Stephanie 05.07.2010

As Omar mentioned in his last blog, “When Planning Meets Reality“, one of TPC’s greatest challenges (at the moment) is figuring out how to stretch our initial investment to cover the variety of start-up costs associated with launching a new business. When we had our initial funding discussion at the First Power Summit, we [...]

New J.O.B. less T.I.M.E for TPC

by Omar 04.23.2010

I consider time to be my most valued asset.  Time is finite and fickle.  You never know how much you’ve got left so it behooves you to maximize it.
Now, I’ve always been something of a master multi-tasker.  Compared to Prez. Obama I probably look like a slacker, but I do pretty well for myself.  Multi-tasking [...]
