5:16
Speaker 1: of books and how it has played in your life.
5:20
Speaker 1: So if you would share with those we we know
5:25
Speaker 1: a little bit about Cornell, because of course Cornell's been
5:27
Speaker 1: on the show several times, if you would give us
5:31
Speaker 1: a little backstory of who you are, and then if
5:36
Speaker 1: you would go ahead and share a little bit about
5:40
Speaker 1: that question, what does books mean to you as an
5:44
Speaker 1: incarcerated individual.
5:49
Speaker 2: Well, I've been in like six when at this time
5:54
Speaker 2: a second time down, and it was the pandemic when
6:00
Speaker 2: I really just started writing books. It was a way
6:03
Speaker 2: to escape the situation I was in because as you know,
6:08
Speaker 2: it was a major lockdown, so we didn't go nowhere.
6:11
Speaker 2: We were just stuck in the cell. And that was
6:14
Speaker 2: my way to escape the world I was living in
6:17
Speaker 2: at that time during the COVID.
6:21
Speaker 1: So what type of literature do you write?
6:26
Speaker 2: It's my first one because I actually know too. One
6:30
Speaker 2: was comedy love novel and once again it was a
6:35
Speaker 2: way they escape. And the second one was how two
6:39
Speaker 2: books that wasn't need pictures, but just in the final stage,
6:46
Speaker 2: I guess you can call it.
6:50
Speaker 1: So if you would, can you kind of tell us
6:55
Speaker 1: what is a process like for someone that is incarcerated
6:59
Speaker 1: in trying to, you know, put together a book, get
7:03
Speaker 1: a book out. So is this your first book, your
7:05
Speaker 1: second book, your third book? What book are you on?
7:10
Speaker 2: This? Comedy love novels? It was actually my first book
7:14
Speaker 2: that I read. I wrote in the entirety last time
7:18
Speaker 2: I was down. I was writing short stories, just practicing
7:22
Speaker 2: when it played with and like I said, it was
7:27
Speaker 2: just at first, just the way they escape, But then
7:30
Speaker 2: I started envesciping the story Bark and everything just started
7:34
Speaker 2: coming together. And I wrote it with the movie playing
7:38
Speaker 2: in my head. So it was I'm not going to
7:40
Speaker 2: say it was easy, but it wasn't hard because I
7:46
Speaker 2: was actually playing it in my head before I even
7:49
Speaker 2: was writing that on paper. And the characters, I more
7:56
Speaker 2: did I guess what you what? We were going to
7:58
Speaker 2: do an elementary with the creative thinking, you know, like
8:03
Speaker 2: the characters with the position is what the role is?
8:06
Speaker 2: And we actually just came together. So, I mean I
8:11
Speaker 2: was surprised myself. About three hundred and eighty seven pages.
8:18
Speaker 1: Wow. So for a person that is incarcerated, what is
8:28
Speaker 1: how important is books to you? And being able to
8:33
Speaker 1: have access to books as well as being able to
8:38
Speaker 1: express yourself in the outlet of a book.
8:44
Speaker 2: Well, you know, before I came to firston the first time,
8:47
Speaker 2: I've actually never read a whole book. And I remember
8:52
Speaker 2: the first whole book that I did read with the
8:54
Speaker 2: James Patterson, and I couldn't put the book down when
8:59
Speaker 2: he wrote. The way he would tell the story and
9:02
Speaker 2: create his characters, that was very interesting to me. And
9:08
Speaker 2: then the urban holes came and played and it was like, wow,
9:14
Speaker 2: I think I could do this, you know, because I've
9:16
Speaker 2: done this. I was doing this in the streets. So
9:20
Speaker 2: he gave me an opportunity to, I guess, fighting my
9:23
Speaker 2: horizons as far as if they could do that, I
9:26
Speaker 2: could do it. So, like I said, the first time
9:29
Speaker 2: I was down, I did short stories here and there.
9:32
Speaker 2: I never took it seriously. But during the pandemic, like
9:37
Speaker 2: I said, he really didn't move around. Was twenty four
9:40
Speaker 2: hours lockdown and it was like for aboute a good
9:42
Speaker 2: six months. So it was there that I started, I guess,
9:46
Speaker 2: developing my creative side. And I just kept going and going.
9:50
Speaker 2: I mean, oh, we had was time. So like I said,
9:54
Speaker 2: it wasn't easy, but it wasn't art and like I said,
9:57
Speaker 2: I surprised myself because I really didn't think I could
9:59
Speaker 2: write a whole books. And it took me probably about
10:06
Speaker 2: a good two years to write my first whole novel.
10:08
Speaker 2: But that's only because I we wrote it four times,
10:12
Speaker 2: would actually agree, and each time, I guess edited myself
10:17
Speaker 2: add more to cloud and just made this the book
10:21
Speaker 2: more quite interesting, I guess you call it.
10:24
Speaker 1: So what stage are you in the book or is
10:29
Speaker 1: the book published or are you looking to publish? What
10:32
Speaker 1: stage are you in the book?
10:36
Speaker 2: Well, I would like to get it for this, of
10:37
Speaker 2: course I haven't. It's rewritten, but it's not typed up
10:46
Speaker 2: because I haven't had access to a typewriter. So that
10:50
Speaker 2: would be my fourth time, and I was gonna wait
10:52
Speaker 2: till I got out to type actually type it up,
10:55
Speaker 2: and then you know, send it to editors and stuff
10:58
Speaker 2: like that, and know, shopping around more because I'm limited,
11:02
Speaker 2: so I don't have people out there that be able
11:04
Speaker 2: to help meet a publisher or do this with it,
11:08
Speaker 2: you know, so I'll really just book the book. But
11:13
Speaker 2: I don't notice that, you know.
11:16
Speaker 1: So there's like so many different outlets, so many different platforms,
11:20
Speaker 1: so many different ways that you can publish. Now, everybody's
11:25
Speaker 1: looking for a so called established publisher. I guess we would
11:31
Speaker 1: be a publishing house, I guess because they're looking for
11:34
Speaker 1: the advancements in the gratuity and the things that come
11:38
Speaker 1: along with being I guess so called traditional published. But
11:46
Speaker 1: now there are so many other outlets. We have boutique publishers.
11:51
Speaker 1: We actually have some self publishing coaches on the feed
11:55
Speaker 1: right now that help individuals that want to publish their
11:59
Speaker 1: books publish their book themselves through these various platforms that
12:04
Speaker 1: we have. I offer a self publishing platform, a coaching platform.
12:11
Speaker 1: Trevida has a publishing company, Patrisa's even dabbling and helping
12:16
Speaker 1: individuals with different things when it comes to publishing. So
12:20
Speaker 1: there are so many different outlets now. So when I
12:23
Speaker 1: hear people say they're shopping around, I really want to know,
12:29
Speaker 1: what does shopping around looks like for you? What what
12:33
Speaker 1: does that word mean?
12:36
Speaker 2: You know, we're finding the right people. I guess if
12:39
Speaker 2: you want to call it like that, because I've read
12:42
Speaker 2: stories or you know, from the different individuals that this
12:48
Speaker 2: out there and they end up taking the book, and
12:51
Speaker 2: you know, it's just more like can you trust because
12:55
Speaker 2: you're really limited ass as how far you can go
12:59
Speaker 2: in there, you know, especially when you don't have.
13:03
Speaker 1: So what really like that? So what I suggest to
13:07
Speaker 1: people before you start sending your manuscripts and start sending
13:12
Speaker 1: stuff out, that you start presenting contracts to people, that
13:15
Speaker 1: you start presenting stuff to people that can be helped
13:18
Speaker 1: up in court. So you start telling people, Okay, I
13:20
Speaker 1: need this from you, I need this. I need something
13:24
Speaker 1: in writing stating what you're going to be able to
13:27
Speaker 1: do for me. And before I send you my manuscript,
13:32
Speaker 1: I need something that that will say that, hey, if
13:37
Speaker 1: we decide the cut ties, that I'm gonna be able
13:40
Speaker 1: to get what's mine's back. You know. That's that's that's
13:44
Speaker 1: really all we need in this in this world, you know.
13:49
Speaker 1: And I'm sad that it's sad that people have to
13:51
Speaker 1: go through that, but I know that this is a
13:53
Speaker 1: treacherous world that we live in and it happens because
13:56
Speaker 1: that too has happened to me. But my whole goal
13:59
Speaker 1: was to stop it from happening to people around me.
14:06
Speaker 1: So that's why I started doing the things that I do,
14:09
Speaker 1: started learning the things that I've learned. I learned how
14:12
Speaker 1: to self publish myself because people did not want to
14:14
Speaker 1: show me. People did not want to help. You will
14:16
Speaker 1: ask people questions and they would give you the run around.
14:19
Speaker 1: They made it seem impossible, when now it is so possible.
14:23
Speaker 1: I'm showing people every other day different things that they
14:27
Speaker 1: can do themselves, to expand their brand, to expand their reach,
14:31
Speaker 1: and just different things of that nature. So I have Trevida,
14:35
Speaker 1: who is a self publishing coach that is chiming in
14:38
Speaker 1: right now. She said, how can I help?
14:44
Speaker 2: Well, you can. Well, what you just said right now
14:48
Speaker 2: was you know it made sense, you know, unless you
14:52
Speaker 2: have a person telling you actually just what you could
14:55
Speaker 2: do then how you can take the steps and this,
14:57
Speaker 2: you know, and you know it's simple right when you're
15:01
Speaker 2: looking through your side, But it's really like not simple
15:05
Speaker 2: looking for my side because I don't, like I said,
15:08
Speaker 2: I just my first book, you know, and I didn't
15:12
Speaker 2: know which avenue to take because like I said that,
15:15
Speaker 2: it's just me. I mean, I got my mom, but
15:17
Speaker 2: you know, she don't know. I'm not gonna put that
15:20
Speaker 2: pressure on her. So my thing was I was just
15:22
Speaker 2: gonna wait type it up and stuff like that because
15:25
Speaker 2: my resources was limited.
15:27
Speaker 1: Y'all have a tablet now right, yes, ma'am. So like
15:33
Speaker 1: y'all pretty much have the same resources we have. Y'all
15:35
Speaker 1: have where y'all can look up stuff, y'all can research stuff.
15:39
Speaker 1: How we find out how to do stuff, How me
15:41
Speaker 1: and Trevida and some more people in my circle, how
15:44
Speaker 1: we find out how to do stuff. We ain't always
15:46
Speaker 1: knew how to publish. Like just like you say, somebody
15:48
Speaker 1: took advantage of you or somebody took advantage of me.
15:51
Speaker 1: That's what made me do the things that I do.
15:54
Speaker 1: You know that, that's what made me get on a
15:58
Speaker 1: tangent of making sure that I leave literary work for
16:03
Speaker 1: people behind me and that they know how to do
16:05
Speaker 1: the same. So I got a book that that that
16:08
Speaker 1: talks people through from from from the beginning to the
16:12
Speaker 1: end of how they can publish their book. So they'll
16:14
Speaker 1: never be able to say as long as this is
16:16
Speaker 1: in circulation and available in print and available digitally, they'll
16:20
Speaker 1: never be able to say that they don't have the meanings,
16:23
Speaker 1: because they can if they go do the research. So
16:25
Speaker 1: we have those tools now. So what we're doing is
16:29
Speaker 1: we're making those tools available to people that say that
16:32
Speaker 1: they don't have those tools. So for everyone that says
16:35
Speaker 1: they don't know how to publish or they don't know
16:37
Speaker 1: what to do once they've written this stuff out or
16:39
Speaker 1: type this stuff out. Then that's what people like Trevida,
16:44
Speaker 1: myself and a couple of other people in our circle,
16:48
Speaker 1: that's that's what we're here for. We're to help you,
16:51
Speaker 1: guide you, to lead you down the right path so
16:55
Speaker 1: that you don't have to keep getting the wrong information
16:59
Speaker 1: and keep having to ask people the same questions that
17:03
Speaker 1: they don't want to answer. Because I've been there, you know,
17:07
Speaker 1: even dealing down to my magazine, asking people how to
17:11
Speaker 1: you know, even do a digital magazine. It took someone
17:15
Speaker 1: years to tell me how to do a digital magazine.
17:18
Speaker 1: Once I started doing my printed magazine. Then now you
17:21
Speaker 1: want to tell me how to do a digital magazine
17:23
Speaker 1: because I know how to do the print magazine and
17:25
Speaker 1: you want me to help you now. But when I
17:28
Speaker 1: didn't know how to do it, you didn't want to help.
17:30
Speaker 1: And that's what we run into, and that's what we see.
17:34
Speaker 1: So we are trying to eliminate a lot of that
17:40
Speaker 1: because we know what we've been through. So those that
17:44
Speaker 1: are attached to my circle, see, we're not just thinking
17:47
Speaker 1: about those in our household and our four and no more.
17:52
Speaker 1: We're thinking about those next to us. We are at ripple.
17:57
Speaker 1: In fact, we're trying to make sure that our legas
18:00
Speaker 1: life and that people know that, yes, you can. You know,
18:04
Speaker 1: I truly believe that our ancestors that came before us,
18:07
Speaker 1: everything that they went through, it wasn't so that you know,
18:11
Speaker 1: we can just do anything.
18:12
Speaker 2: You know.
18:12
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me the other day. They were I guess
18:16
Speaker 1: they was trying to have an argument with me, but
18:17
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to do it. So they was trying
18:20
Speaker 1: to say that I was saying that I didn't appreciate
18:22
Speaker 1: the ancestors. But that's not what I was saying. I
18:25
Speaker 1: was telling him that the things that I'm not my ancestors,
18:29
Speaker 1: because the things that my ancestors did for me was dead.
18:33
Speaker 1: Because we're supposed to do greater that's what the words say.
18:36
Speaker 1: The words say greater works, and that we're supposed to
18:37
Speaker 1: do greater works, and we're supposed to They supposed to
18:40
Speaker 1: have paid the way for us to do greater works.
18:41
Speaker 1: So I'm not my ancestor, and you're not going to
18:44
Speaker 1: be able to do me like you did my ancestors
18:46
Speaker 1: because they went through that so that I didn't have
18:48
Speaker 1: to go through it. So that's what I was telling him,
18:51
Speaker 1: but he didn't want to understand that. But because of
18:55
Speaker 1: what we have been through, we don't want others to
18:58
Speaker 1: go through that. So we are trying to lessen that process.
19:03
Speaker 1: So exactly, we want to help individuals that want to
19:09
Speaker 1: get their books out there. So when you're considering, I mean,
19:14
Speaker 1: you don't have to wait until you're out. You know,
19:17
Speaker 1: we have individuals that are incarcerated that are publishing books.
19:21
Speaker 1: I mean, of course everything comes with the price because
19:24
Speaker 1: it's not free. But then that's when it comes down.
19:27
Speaker 1: You got to learn how to weigh your options. There's
19:31
Speaker 1: things that you can do. You can't negotiate things with people.
19:35
Speaker 1: I mean you may not always have funds, but there's
19:37
Speaker 1: things that you can do that you may be able
19:40
Speaker 1: to do for people that can help them on the outside.
19:45
Speaker 1: So we have to learn our gifts and our talents
19:47
Speaker 1: and our skills and how we can apply them and
19:50
Speaker 1: how we can use them because that may be something
19:51
Speaker 1: that you may be good and drawing. You may or
19:53
Speaker 1: you may know somebody that can draw. Somebody may need characters.
19:57
Speaker 1: You may can do some characters for them and then
19:59
Speaker 1: you make an exchange, and y'all make an exchange, you know,
20:03
Speaker 1: different things like that. But you gotta think of ways
20:06
Speaker 1: that you can benefit from the position where you are,
20:11
Speaker 1: because you also have to understand too that you're not
20:13
Speaker 1: always gonna be in that position, that you're gonna one
20:17
Speaker 1: day be out of that position. But you don't have
20:19
Speaker 1: to wait until you get through it to see what
20:23
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like. You can start seeing what it's
20:25
Speaker 1: gonna be like now. So now you know you got
20:28
Speaker 1: these books. Okay, now you know the next step because
20:31
Speaker 1: keep writing it and keep reading it. You need to
20:34
Speaker 1: get an editor because you've done it four times. You
20:36
Speaker 1: need to get new eyes, new somebody looking at it
20:40
Speaker 1: that's never seen it before so that they can put
20:44
Speaker 1: their perspective on it. So now you got Patrice who's
20:49
Speaker 1: a book reviewer. You have Trevida who's a editor, and
20:54
Speaker 1: then you have other people that may tune in later
20:58
Speaker 1: that does other stuff. But you have individuals that does
21:02
Speaker 1: these things. Of course you didn't know that, but now
21:06
Speaker 1: you know. So now you can utilize what you have
21:10
Speaker 1: and figure out, yeah, they do charge. So now you
21:13
Speaker 1: figure out, okay, well if I don't have the money.
21:17
Speaker 1: How can I get the money? Or how can I barter?
21:20
Speaker 1: Or what services can I provide? These are things that
21:23
Speaker 1: we have to do as a community, right.
21:27
Speaker 2: So I would to get the answers to all that,
21:30
Speaker 2: you know, like how would I reach out? The show
21:33
Speaker 2: is limited and things like that.
21:37
Speaker 1: So you have to do your research. You have to
21:39
Speaker 1: find out what what what is good for you you
21:41
Speaker 1: You have to see what's what I mean. I can
21:45
Speaker 1: provide you with the resources I have and then you
21:48
Speaker 1: can tap into what I have. But I can't. I
21:53
Speaker 1: just can't promise.
21:53
Speaker 2: Nothing right right, man, I wouldn't expect a promise anything.
21:59
Speaker 2: But you know, like I said, just on this show
22:04
Speaker 2: right now, I've learned a lot, you know, just by
22:10
Speaker 2: like I said, simple to you, but for somebody that
22:14
Speaker 2: I don't knowing, it's fresh, you know, I'm taking it
22:18
Speaker 2: all there.
22:21
Speaker 1: And that's what we do. I mean that that's what
22:23
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do, because there may be areas that
22:26
Speaker 1: I don't know. Like I learned something the other day
22:29
Speaker 1: talking to a young lady that I just helped her
22:32
Speaker 1: publish her book. You know, there was some issues with
22:36
Speaker 1: her book because you know, when you're teaching people, you're
22:39
Speaker 1: teaching someone step by steps to do something. There can
22:42
Speaker 1: be things that are left out in the translation. That
22:44
Speaker 1: could be something left out in the worst name. But
22:47
Speaker 1: there was a miscommunication in which file to upload. The
22:51
Speaker 1: wrong file was upload so the wrong five costs the
22:54
Speaker 1: wrong the book to be wrong. It made the book
22:59
Speaker 1: to appear incorrect and blurry. And when the book arrived
23:04
Speaker 1: today from the document that I uploaded, which is the
23:10
Speaker 1: same document that she just re uploaded it, just when
23:15
Speaker 1: it arrived today, it made her day because, hey, we
23:20
Speaker 1: learned something during this experience as well, you know, even
23:23
Speaker 1: though an error was made on our behalf, we also
23:27
Speaker 1: learned something new that we can do in case something
23:30
Speaker 1: like this does happen again. So it's always a learning experience.
23:34
Speaker 1: And just because somebody appeared to be an expert or
23:38
Speaker 1: may know something, don't mean that they know everything. Because
23:41
Speaker 1: I'm learning every day. I don't know everything, you know,
23:45
Speaker 1: even though I have all these books out here, there's
23:48
Speaker 1: still stuff that I still make era. But that's why
23:52
Speaker 1: I want reviews, That's why I want people's input. That's
23:55
Speaker 1: why I love all of my tribe because they are
23:59
Speaker 1: just like that, you know, and we help where we can.
24:03
Speaker 1: So again, so you see what we have available. We
24:09
Speaker 1: we have self publisher, we have self publishing coach, We
24:12
Speaker 1: have a publishing a publisher over there. She also edits,
24:16
Speaker 1: she does, she does everything from start to finish. I
24:23
Speaker 1: trust her because I cannot do because I have my
24:28
Speaker 1: hands and everything else. So what I can't do, I
24:30
Speaker 1: love to send to her. I refer people to how
24:34
Speaker 1: often because I know what she's capable of and I've
24:38
Speaker 1: seen her work and I see what she can do.
24:42
Speaker 1: So you you you have you have some individuals in place.
24:50
Speaker 1: I mean we are we are the crew podcasts. We
24:53
Speaker 1: we we are them beavers of the airways, and we're
24:56
Speaker 1: not just podcasters, but we have the brands that do
25:02
Speaker 1: other things and we just happen to be in a
25:07
Speaker 1: place where we want to be a voice and we
25:10
Speaker 1: just happen to be on the podcast, but we do
25:14
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff outside of being podcasters as well.
25:18
Speaker 1: So know that you have a slew of resources in
25:23
Speaker 1: your miss So get our contact information from Cornell and
25:30
Speaker 1: we definitely would love to see how we can assist
25:32
Speaker 1: you in getting that book out. And I always understand
25:37
Speaker 1: that if there is ways that we can work things
25:44
Speaker 1: out that thieves cannot be paid up front, then hey,
25:47
Speaker 1: we can do that too, you know. But also when
25:52
Speaker 1: we make these deals, you have to also be with
25:55
Speaker 1: you understand that promoting and all of that is going
25:59
Speaker 1: to follow you. We can't get these books out here
26:03
Speaker 1: and then we don't share with our family and get
26:06
Speaker 1: our family to get involved and our friends and all
26:10
Speaker 1: those that say, hey, we support you. If we support you,
26:13
Speaker 1: then we need your support. So if if I look out,
26:19
Speaker 1: I need for your family to look out too. And
26:21
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put it out there if I publish it,
26:24
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put it out there because I don't mind.
26:26
Speaker 1: I don't mind putting putting myself out there. If I
26:29
Speaker 1: publish you, then I'm gonna need for people to purchase
26:34
Speaker 1: the books so that they can't so that you can
26:37
Speaker 1: get royalties so that you can pay me. Right, So
26:41
Speaker 1: that's what that's all I need. Now. If you want
26:43
Speaker 1: me to help you, I help you. I don't mind
26:45
Speaker 1: helping you, but I can't promise you it's gonna be
26:47
Speaker 1: quick because I do have some other projects in hand.
26:53
Speaker 1: But hey, we out here and we're doing what we
26:58
Speaker 1: need to do.
26:59
Speaker 2: So hey, and I just want to thank you for
27:02
Speaker 2: your time. Thank you all for your time and having
27:05
Speaker 2: me on this podcast. And I'm gonna get with Drummer
27:10
Speaker 2: and get that information for sure, talk to him a
27:14
Speaker 2: little bit more, because he is like a mentor to me,
27:16
Speaker 2: a good, good guy. I talked to him a lot,
27:19
Speaker 2: you know, I learned learning from him, you know, about
27:23
Speaker 2: his situation.
27:25
Speaker 1: But uh, and then you would you would get to
27:28
Speaker 1: see a little bit about what we do and who
27:30
Speaker 1: we are, and a little bit about our books and
27:32
Speaker 1: all that. If they had not hand up our magazine.
27:35
Speaker 1: But they froze up our magazine. They actually sent it
27:39
Speaker 1: out to Huntsville to be evaluated again. They just did
27:44
Speaker 1: the same thing over at Connolly, and they approved it
27:47
Speaker 1: at Connolly. Now he gets transferred over there. They're doing
27:50
Speaker 1: the same thing over there. So once they approve the magazines,
27:53
Speaker 1: you'll get an opportunity to kind of check us out
27:56
Speaker 1: and see who we are, what we're doing, and what
28:00
Speaker 1: we stand for all that good stuff. All right, I said,
28:07
Speaker 1: no problem, thank.
28:09
Speaker 3: You, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, okay.
28:28
Speaker 1: So that was mister Cornell. Who is He is one
28:34
Speaker 1: of h He is Chanet's co hosts. Over on Let's
28:37
Speaker 1: Talk About It. They're on every every first and third Monday.
28:45
Speaker 1: Cornell is currently incarcerated inside of the Domingus Unit. He
28:52
Speaker 1: used to be on the Conny Unit and he's now
28:55
Speaker 1: on the Mingus Unit. He's over there telling everybody about
28:59
Speaker 1: the Crew podcast, that's the Spiring Office magazine and all
29:02
Speaker 1: of the amazing things that we do over here. So
29:06
Speaker 1: know that we are being talked about, we are being shared.
29:09
Speaker 1: There are so many people that appreciate the things that
29:12
Speaker 1: we do. Even if they do not like or share y'all,
29:15
Speaker 1: they definitely appreciate the things that we do. So I
29:19
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys for all that you do. I tell you,
29:23
Speaker 1: just listening to individuals talk about some of the things
29:29
Speaker 1: that they go through and trying to get their books published.
29:32
Speaker 1: You know, I've had several people say that they've had
29:35
Speaker 1: manuscripts that were stolen. They've had people take money when
29:40
Speaker 1: they've tried to get book covers done. I've seen individuals
29:44
Speaker 1: paying anywhere from fifteen hundred to twenty five hundred just
29:48
Speaker 1: for a book cover, just for a book cover, when
29:51
Speaker 1: you can pay a publisher that to publish your book,
29:54
Speaker 1: but they're paying that much just for a book cover.
29:57
Speaker 1: Just because they are behind prison whiles, people are taxing them.
30:02
Speaker 1: They are truly taking advantage. They're taxing, they are double charging,
30:06
Speaker 1: they're overcharging, and it's just sad when these individuals are
30:11
Speaker 1: just wanting to allow their voices to be heard. They
30:14
Speaker 1: are just using outlets to get things out that are
30:20
Speaker 1: pressing them. You know, we be surprised at the things
30:24
Speaker 1: that goes on behind prison whiles and the things that
30:28
Speaker 1: these individuals endure. So writing has been an outlet for
30:34
Speaker 1: many of them. So I am truly truly honored and
30:40
Speaker 1: grateful for those that will allow me to help them
30:44
Speaker 1: get their stuff out, because a lot of them they
30:47
Speaker 1: just want to tell their story. They just want to share,
30:50
Speaker 1: you know, their experience, their journey. So y'all, thank you
30:54

30:58
