It’s one thing to build a community of like-minded individuals, but to build momentum, that first community must extend beyond itself to cooperate with other organizations and communities that share similar goals.
The more people that are involved, the faster progress can be made as new ideas and greater energy is added to the mix. Great leaders recognize this truth and are always seeking to partner with other organizations in order to achieve their goals.
At Path To Publishing, we routinely look for partnerships with other organizations and work with them to help them meet their needs just as they help our community meet its needs. One of those partnerships is with the IBPA or the Independent Book Publishers Association, (https://www.ibpa.org).
The IBPA serves to help independent publishers and self-published authors get the help and support they need to produce books of the same quality as traditional publishing houses, while getting many of the same networking advantages.
We are also looking to partner with other writers, book club leaders, educators, pastors, community leaders, business owners and entrepreneurs, as well as parents and grandparents, to help us in our efforts to change the conversation around race relations using our upcoming novel The Price We Pay, being published on our traditional publishing imprint (PTP Press), as a starting point.
We know that by working together with these organizations and individuals, we will be able to extend our reach, expand our opportunities, and bring our vision of a future where children do not have to experience racial divisions to life much sooner than we could on our own.
To discover more about The Price We Pay and our work to open the doors of communication and change the conversation around race relations, visit our crowdfunding campaign page at https://ptppress.com/taking-a-novel-approach-to-change. Those who sign up to #JoinTheConversation will receive an invitation to join our private LEADERS community.
P.S. And if you know any individuals, companies, foundations, or organizations who might make for a solid partner in supporting and pushing our movement forward, please feel free to pass on this email to them or send them our way.
