| The new ground-breaking book. |
Let me first start with last November (2014), our sister company BIS Publishing Services hosted a special book launch at the Mayor's office, City Hall, London. It was the launch of the long awaited ground-breaking book by Michael Williams author and CEO of both companies, entitled Black Scientists & Inventors in the UK: Millenniums of Inventions & Innovations.
The book was co-authored by new author Manyonyi Amalemba, who is a BIS Publishing Courses graduate. Since finishing the course Amalemba has self-published a book titled "BECOMING..!" which can be bought from his blog built by BIS Publishing Services), he also discovered a hidden talent he has in editing and proof reading; which has lead him to set up an editing services. That said, Williams was impressed with his writing style that he decided to include him in the Scientists & Inventors project.
During
the first week of the new year January 2015, we hosted the "Make
The Change Feel Joy" book launch. The book with the
same title was written by BIS Publishing Courses graduate, Mbeke
Waseme.
Mbeke
first attended our course last April. After attending the course and
reading the book "Self Publishing Successfully a 20- Step
Guide" she made the decision that she was determined to
fulfil a life long dream of self publishing her first book before she
turned 50 years old. At the time she was 49 and her birthday was in
October, so it was on. She contacted us and asked could BIS
Publishing Services assist her in making this happen and was it
realistic that it would happen in 6 months. We said “ if you are
willing to give it a go and do your very best we would do all we
could to make it happen.” Mbeke decided to take out our 1-2-1
coaching services, which would further enhance her self publishing
knowledge and skills already gained on the course and from the book.
The sessions gave her the confidence to go through all the necessary
self publishing steps. She currently resides between the UK and
Ghana, so she took our Skype coaching option. As well as helping
design her book we also designed and built her blog/website:
www.joytochange.com.
Mbeke's book launch at the Conway Hall in Holborn, London was a
massive success.

February
2015 we had our first BIS Publishing self publishing course for
the year. Those who attended were authors that ranged from complete
newbies to some that had already had been published. They
attended our course because of what they had heard about us
and also what they saw in terms of graduates on our courses
who went onto self publish successfully soon after completing
the courses. February attendees all left inspired with the belief
that they could self-publish successfully and given a little time
would commit themselves to complete that objective.
It
is my hope that we will be speaking about them and their books
this time next year, so stay tuned for that.
