Does any of y'all know if any schools in your areas is accepting book donations for kids?!?! I have a feeling scholastic is not gonna recommend my book for schools through the usual channels so I'm gonna do an end run right around them... I don't have a machine behind me.

I just donated a bunch of books to africa book drive I feel good...

.......
....
..

Note: I suggest you bring your books to the local inner city schools(were most of the black kids are) and have a book fair in those k-12 schools. We used to have book fairs a couple times a year at my elementary school. I think thats how my sister got into stephen king actually.
(I keep saying to black comic writers those school book fairs are far better venues to reach black folks*kids* than those comic fairs that most black folks wouldn't be aware of.)

Yep if you want to reach black kids just take your books ...(hell get a couple 4-5 black creators together) and go to the local inner city schools and ask the principles to have a book fair in the school library.

Basically the the kids would come one class after the next to the library and there would be books layed out on the table and we could buy a book to take home. They used to do that all the time when I was in Birmingham AL elementary school.

This is part of the reason I always got frustrated when I read black comic book writers who go to comic fairs then wonder why the majority cac attendees look funny at their books. I'm like yoooo ....just go directly to black kids just like they used to do us in k-12




Hell I should buy a bunch of black comics from various writers and sell them second hand via k-12 book fairs

Good deal and note that you don't even have to be there in person. They never had speakers at our school book fairs.
Basically the school librarian...

• Receives the books via mail
• Informs the teachers there will be a book fair on [insert day]
• Puts them out on display
• Proccesses any sales or book order the kids want
• Informs the kids when there order comes in so they can pick it up

Now that I think about it It could be a case of the librarians ordering the books on their own dime then making the money back by having those school book fairs.
(Either way the point I'm getting at is that you don't have to be at each book fair in person, the librarians can do all the grunt work themselves. You just have to set that initial school connection)

Best of luck bruh I want yall to win

The wealthy magnate is as rich as he is vicious making scores of enemies who dare not touch him unless they want to deal with the wrath of the armies in his debt, still there are people who are willing to take the risks most notably one of his former subordinates and champion Gene Montana a man he'd blinded and banished years prior to showing up in Doggtown where Montana now resides wielding more power. With Ken Hiro in Doggtown and having a smaller group of bodyguards Ken has seemingly never been more vulnerable and If Gene is ever to get his revenge it would be now and that's exactly what Ken wants him to do

In the Episode "Dogg Day Afternoon" Saul tests Maxine's theory that if he would just "sit still and mind his own business" he wouldn't get in so much trouble. In typical Saul fashion, things go awry even when he attempts to do nothing, choosing not to go to the movies and see "Some Dogg flick" with the gang who bailed on a card game Saul instead remains in the hotel alone shuffling playing cards when he meets Doggman Golden Yeller who unbeknownst to him is a Senator and viewed as a beacon of hope within the Doggman Community. While Senator Golden Yeller does believe in his message, his status as the lone Doggman senator and the weight of being a positive representative of his whole race has turned him into a celebrity something Golden Yeller never envisioned or wanted. Exhausted by the never-ending public appearances including a movie premier he was scheduled to attend in Doggtown the pressure would lead him to ditch his security detail and instead play a quiet game of cards with the politically illiterate Saul the two men would enjoy each others company until a sniper intent on assassinating the politician ends their game abruptly. Now Saul must find a way to protect the Senator and take down his would-be assassin.

I feel like i'm being held back with my mixing until I get some monitors..it's hard to get a good grasp on how the kicks sounds with just headphones.

Use a spectrum analyzer until you can get some monitors....reference it against something else and check crest factor, then playbyke in the car....

Get some "flat" mixing headphones and a audio interface, that's my current setup....I travel far too much to try to lug some studio monitors with me everywhere...in this day and age everything can be done in the box, including mixing and mastering...a gang of the pros do it but will never admit it....there's a gang of vids on youtube to get u started...

Currently my side hustle is my music...I taught my self how to produce now I'm learning how to mix...a while back I dropped a song on here and cats roasted me, rightfully so....the mix on the beat and vocals were horrible

I'm leveling up tho, will test some more songs on here in the near future...
