'If a publisher declines your manuscript, remember it is merely the decision of one fallible human being, and try another.'

Take Control of Your Artistic Fate-- With Jakaylah Paperback Publishing
Company Profile
Jakaylah Paperback Publishing is a cooperative publishing company that offers three options for publishing through Jakaylah Paperback Publishing, in which authors are published through Jakaylah while retaining artistic goals as well as author's and copyrights - with the option to end the contract at anytime.
In addition to publishing services, writers also have the option to order self-publishing services a la carte and to utilize only those services desired. Unlike vanity presses, Jakaylah does not simply print your work, but offers services in the marketing and distribution of your final product also. And unlike most publishing houses, Jakaylah does not attempt to change your work or artistic aim, we merely work to help you realize your dreams. So if you are ready to share your work with the world and don't want to compromise your vision for the sake of a large publishing house who does not know your goals and intentions, then welcome home to Jakaylah, a place for writers to come and be themselves, set their own goals, and determine their own artistic fate.
Our small staff is a positive asset in that all of the selectively chosen members share the same mission, to give writers a professional end product at quality prices and to assist writers is reaching their goals in the publishing world. In addition, a small staff ensures that you will not be shuffled around to various editors working on your manuscript, but will be assigned a personal editor to work with you from start to finish on the completion of your project. So to all the writers looking for a place to call home, welcome to Jakaylah Paperback Publishing, a true home for aspiring and new writers, and a place for them to come and find advice,assistance, and appreciation for their craft.
Thanks for your time, Kirsten L. Geter Jakaylah Paperback Publishing

More About Jakaylah Paperback Publishing:
In addition to editing and design, authors can receive assistance in filling out paperwork for Copyright, of which they will retain all rights, and they can either supply their own ISBN for cover layout or purchase an ISBN from Jakaylah Paperback Publishing, and again retain all rights and all profits.As for my background in publishing it has been a self taught experience.

Who is Kirsten Geter?
Author Kirsten L. Geter has written poetry for more than fifteen years, Soul Fusion is her premier novel in which she shares her passion for poetry in a uniquely woven poetic dramatic romance. Currently, Kirsten is working on a non-fiction personal memoir dealing with living as a single female in a society that gives two seemingly opposing ideals to its female citizens: self-sufficient independent female power verses interdependent role-oriented monogamous relationships (i.e. marriage). Kirsten is also working on her second novel.
In addition to writing, Kirsten is a single mother of a very intelligent precocious eight year old daughter and a high school English teacher at ECHS. Kirsten is also the coach of ECHS's step team, Y-K-Phi, which instills positive values, a strong work-ethic, social awareness, and civic duty to its male and female participants who range from 10th to 12th grade.

My Interests

Writing, Reading, Singing, Dancing, Working with kids (mainly teenagers), Thinking, Relaxing, Music, and More Writing

I'd like to meet:

There are so many writers that I would love to simply sit and talk with some classics, some contemporary,some lyricists, some living, and some dead. Here is a short list: Mos Def, Common, India Arie, Jill Scott, Toni Morrison, Terry McMillan, Edith Wharton, WEB Dubois, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mark Twain, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Chinua Achebe, Langston Hughes, Oprah Winfrey, Lauryn Hill, Talib Kwaleb, T.I., Cleo Green, wow the list could go on forever, but I guess I have to come to an end.

On here I am looking to meet interesting people with simlar interests and expand my circle of literary friends.

Music:

R&B, Soul, Neo-Soul, Jazz, Pop, Hip-Hop... overall I like good music by good artists with real lyrics

Movies:

My favorite of all time has to be Love Jones... there was something about that movie that just felt so right to me from start to finish. I loved the way it came on the screen with the black and white photos and I loved the ending... guess I am a hopeless romantic.

Television:

GIRLFRIENDS is the best show of all times, Project Runway, CSI, and Law & Order. Oh yeah, I just got into 4400 and it is amazing.

Books:

Wow this is difficult to narrow down but I will try to keep it brief: The Bluest Eye, Sula, Jazz, Beloved, Song of Solomon, Love, Paradise (yes I love Toni Morrison), Nervous Conditions, Things Fall Apart, Ethan Frome, Of Mice and Men, House of Sand and Fog, Times Arrow, When Washington Was in Vogue, and of course SOUL FUSION --- check out the excerpts in my blogs and if you are interested in getting a copy email me at [email protected]

Heroes:

Jesus and My Parents are at the top but the list contains many others such as Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King, Nannie Helen Burroughs, Booker T. Washington, Maya Angelou, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Zora Neale Hurston, Queen Latifah (she put plus size sistas back on the map), Toni Morrison, and the list could go on and on. I hope you have some more to add to this list too.
