Workbook for existing published book: “Attitude Determines Altitude” by Dr. Karockas “Doc Rock” Watkins. Manuscript in first draft

“It’s Not About the Chicken Salad” by Barbara Jean Gordon (creative non-fiction memoir and self-help): Barbara’s story will show how one life—riddled with suffering and recklessness, where the war within was defined by the events and the losses—can be transformed by the Creator whose love and light truly dispelled the darkness. Her story is broken down into four sections: The Religious Years, The Rebellious Years, The Redemption Years, and The Revelation Years. The chapters that follow her story will give relatable and helpful insights into seven specific areas that will help readers live in a way that is emotionally, spiritually, and physically healthy: self-awareness, respect, triggers, empathy, identity, comparison and contentment, and peace. Manuscript in first draft

By Amanda White-Brown (as yet untitled creative non-fiction memoir and self-help): From the very beginning, Amanda was destined to be different. Challenges with her hearing and eyesight combined with childhood sexual abuse to define those differences to others around her. However, Amanda persevered through each one, turning those differences into strengths that she uses to help her readers be extremely grateful for what is right in front of them so they can overcome adversity, move forward with big dreams and big thoughts, and give back to others. Manuscript in first draft

By Linda Tisdale (as yet untitled creative non-fiction memoir and self-help): Linda will take the tragedies and triumphs that have defined her life to exhort her readers to live with peace, purpose, and victory. Manuscript in first draft

By Dr. Amanda H. Goodson and Dr. Yvette Rice (as yet untitled self-help non-fiction): As dynamic leaders, Amanda and Yvette reveal the challenges women typically face that prevent them from believing that they can succeed, should succeed, and deserve to succeed. Calling from lessons learned from their own lives as women and entreprenuers, Amanda and Yvette will encourage their readers to be bold, prosper, and win at everything they do. Manuscript in first draft

By Anna Bell (as yet untitled creative non-fiction memoir and self-help): “The moment you admit that you are a victim of abuse,” Anna writes, “is also the same moment when healing can begin because you have broken free of the twisted world that your abuser has been around you.” The abuse Anna reveals in her book, however, is not physical—but emotional and psychological, the kinds of abuse that few authorities recognize, leaving victims in unaided, silent suffering. Anna will inform and inspire other women and their children who are living in similar situations, providing perspective and hope. Manuscript in first draft
