Description:
I am a student that is preparing for law school this fall. I have written a book about my mother who died in 2009. It began as a journal of thoughts to help me cope when she died and realized through her life scripting I have learned life lessons that a book could never teach me. I have overcome challenges and currently do motivational speaking on subjects like bullying, self-confidence, circle of influence, and other self-help topics. Many of the topics I speak on are covered in the book. The book will help pay for law school and help me start generating capital to reinvest for a future nonprofit that I will open in honor of my mom to help single parents in college.
I am seeking funding to do self-publishing. I want self-publish for now to control the price point and majority of the profit for the book. I am a very driven and determined young lady. I have been attending the University of Houston –Downtown and Lone Star College –North Harris none stop with 6-8 classes per semester since August of 2009 and will graduate with honors from both May 2011.
I am searching for an investor that will believe in the potential of my book to be a best seller and get picked up by a major publisher and possibly a movie deal. The total investment would be less than 5k in return for a percentage of the profits and complete repayment in 2 years. I have had offers from people who have said they could help with printing, marketing, and website design, but when I look at the it work it does not meet the quality standards to which I would have my name or my book associated.
So if you are interested, please email me.
