LITERARY HOOD

LiteraryHood gives you the inside scoop on the urban and not so urban literary grind. These urban fiction streets are just as harsh as the drug trade. Authors out on the corners selling books like they're a controlled substance instead of pieces of great fiction... the nerve of these jerks to treat us in such a way. Hey wait a minute, this is a black owned genre... so I guess we are treating ourselves...

Promoting 101

Ahhh, the nice red bone toned dame in this picture above my words is a sexy author friend of mine. WELCOME TO LITERARY HOOD PEOPLES... you know who it is, your friendly neighborhood author Brandon McCalla.
Here is a great way to promote your words of art (your novel, nigga)...

Clothing: tee-shirts and baseball caps (fitted caps mind you, step your game up)...
people read the words on your body but authors you should pass these things out, for free!!!
Stop using bullshit business tactics on your consumers...

I see some authors trying to sell the clothing that has the promoting on it and anyone who purchases a tee-shirt or hat with an authors book or publishing company information on it, is a pure ASSHOLE!!! You should have gotten a free tee-shirt with a book purchase.

FIRST OFF, IF YOU ARE WEARING THEIR CLOTHES, YOU ARE DOING THEM A FAVOR.

YOU ARE A WALKING BULLETIN BOARD...

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST TO PAY FOR PROMOTIONS AND YOU ARE PAYING THEM TO PROMOTE THEIR PRODUCT FOR THEM... when you buy these shirts n hats...

IF AN AUTHOR TRIES TO SELL YOU ANY CLOTHING WITH THEIR PRODUCT ON IT...
DO NOT SUPPORT THAT AUTHOR ANYMORE!!! ...and I see the more successful authors doing it, meaning they are making money and still don't give a damn about you! How about them apples...

IF I SEE ANYONE, WHETHER AT THE HARLEM BOOK FAIR OR OTHERWISE BUYING AN AUTHOR SHIRT I'M GONNA LAUGH RIGHT IN THEIR FACE, AND WHEN THEY ASK ME WHY I'M LAUGHING...
I'm gonna tell you to get up on my blogsite and search through the archieves for this post...

Back to business... Kashamba is a good publisher because she made nice tee-shirts to promote STILETTOS 101 for Lenaise Meyeil...

check this log onto Kashamba Williams website and get what's hood about both these lovely author vixens...

Nope GP, that aint my girl... My girl only wears Diamond Series Tee-shirts (she reps her dude proudly). The woman in question in the pic is Lenaise the author of the book that is being promoted with the tee-shirt...
