Finished 99 Problems? Still reading? Haven't started? Cool! Start here!
Welcome, Fam!!!
What’s good, fam! Glad you’re here!
And so!
You’ve read/listened to 99 Problems…now what?
Or, you’re still reading/listening…
Or, you ain’t read shit but you clicked on some shit and found your way here.
All y’all are in the exact right place!
And now, a quick plug for the rest of OnlyFam…
…‘Cause it’s lots to OnlyFam, my writer newsletter and blog!
I talk luminous Craft and Creativity, I share updates on my writer dreams progress, and I go in with big and bold essays about my life and life-life.
Everything is easily accessible from the OnlyFam home page.
Now that we’ve taken care of that…
A little business.
I want to catch you up on where I’m at with mine’s.
Here's what I'm up to now:
Returning to social media (see my renewed Instagram and TikTok. I really can get gone for years lolol.
Building out my writer website...and the site is LQWrites.net!
Getting the paperback, ebook, and audiobook up and ready for sale on Amazon and Audible and the other big outlets, since that's where new readers may find me; and creating Facebook ads to reliably draw those new readers.
While I work on all that, I have two requests for your help.
Two requests for your help
Request #1: Please write a review! You can wait until you finish, but you don't have to! If you scroll down a little on my website homepage, you'll see the already-posted reviews and the button to add your own. Doesn't have to be long, just share what you are enjoying, or enjoyed, about the story and be on your way. Thanks so much—this helps people who don’t know me take a chance on the work!!!
Request #2: Consider me for any great influencers, podcasts, book clubs, etc! I need publicity. If you know of outlets that would be a great fit for me as a black writer, a black woman writer, and/or the subject matter of 99 Problems--family, love, beautiful black people being real-ass human beings--let's make it happen!
I really want grassroots success: readers loving the story and talking about it with their people, and then their people loving the story and talking about it with their people...and yada yada yada, Oprah or Tyler or Issa wants to make 99 Problems--and Books 2 and 3 of the trilogy--into a TV (or movie) series!!!
That's really what I want, and it's possible. ‘Cause this here is a good-ass story, and I'm so happy you are a Day 1 part of it.
Now that we’ve talked business, let’s play!
Ready to talk all things 99 Problems?
Yay!
In my next few posts, I’ll be sharing a bit of the story behind the story, and soon we’ll be talkin’ characters, and from there, I’d love to set up some live zoom group chats with readers! All coming soon!
In the meantime, here’s the next post in this “Welcome” series, ready and waiting just for you!
