Write One Publications, Inc. is a full service fiction publisher with “you” the writer in mind. In addition to publishing books, we are committed to providing writers with the tools needed to get their manuscript published and for their book to be a success! We do this through manuscript critiques, as well as assisting writers with how to market a book and garner publicity.

Whether you are traditionally published or self-published, Write One can assist you with your writing journey, through book marketing consultations or manuscript critiques.

CEO of Write One Publications, Stefanie Newell also a writer, started Write One with the intention of the company being strictly a fiction publisher.

Newell says of Write One, “I had no idea that my fiction publishing company would assist writers with the entire process from manuscript critiques to book marketing. Everywhere I turned people were asking me how I managed to garner book publicity for my debut novel The Buzz. How I was able to get a celebrity to write the foreword for Pull Your Pants Up by author Bernice Harris? How I went about marketing our books and getting featured on radio and television and even in magazines? I realized there was an immense need to discuss what I feel has not been discussed enough within the literary community, and that is writers who release books (mainly self-published) that aren’t the commercial success they hope it to be.”

As Newell attended book signings and various literary events across the U.S., she noticed a common theme amongst conversations had by both new and veteran authors – book marketing. How do I market a book? How do I use social media to market a book? When should I start marketing a book? How do I garner book publicity?

Ultimately, a lot of the authors she encountered had underestimated how much book marketing and publicity would factor into the literary process. As a new author, she herself had underestimated how much time it would take to garner buzz for her debut novel.

Newell says reflecting on first year as a published author, “I have to admit, even I thought it would be relatively simple to sell a few thousand copies within a few months. What I hadn’t considered (and I’m pretty certain a lot of authors don’t) is that the landscape is different for new writers who have no fan base or previous books that prove their ability to write. I also underestimated how much time and effort is involved in marketing a book. After re-examining my marketing plan, I was able to garner publicity for my book and through book marketing and branding, begin the process of establishing my name. Although initially I had no plans of my company assisting authors with manuscript critiques and book marketing consultations, I fully embrace the new direction of Write One Publications. Not only is their a need, but I have always enjoyed assisting others through my successes and missteps. Essentially I have incorporated my experience from Corporate America, my education,  as well as my experience as a freelance entertainment writer to garner publicity and brand both my company and book.”

Write One Publications, Inc. now prides itself on being a full service publishing company that assists both new and veteran writers (of all genres) with affordable book marketing and publicity consultations. In addition, Write One offers manuscript critiques to authors looking for reassurance on their manuscripts before publishing them. We are excited that you have visited our website and are assured that you will find something here to assist you on your writing journey.

The Youth Empowerment Workshop is an engaging curriculum that was developed in response to parents who attended our Pull Your Pants Up! book signings throughout the city of Chicago. These parents were looking for additional resources for their at risk teenagers and urban youth doing well in school (both boys and girls).

Often times we tell our youth that they can be, do, and have anything they want in life, which is absolutely true! But are we arming them with the tools to assist them  in meeting their goals? The main components of the Youth Empowerment Workshop are:

◊ Group exercises that encourage creative and critical thinking

◊ Feedback and advice on how to reach specific goals

◊ Completed action plan

Each student will learn:

◊ how to remain focused

◊ set goals and have definitive steps to achieving them

◊ foster dreams

◊ boost self-esteem by identifying strengths and building a life around those strengths

◊ use strengths to create a positive means of income

This workshop is great for:

• youth on the fast track to college
• at risk teenagers
• juvenile delinquency programs
• youth organizations
• churches
• teen mother programs

Newell is best known for her novel The Buzz: When celebrity gossip goes wrong… The Buzz has been described as a humorous yet introspective look at the entertainment industry and its allure. The idea for The Buzz came while Newell was freelance writing for Unrated Magazine and her entertainment blog The Music Hot Spot. After observing the entertainment industry and lurking on various message boards and blogs over the years, Stefanie put pen to paper and brought to life the gossiping, Internet diva Ebony Jenkins.

Published by her company Write One Publications, Inc., The Buzz has created a buzz amongst book readers and fans of celebrity gossip. Newell has been featured by media outlets such as Rolling Out, CollegeNews.com, and the Chicago Fox television show Raw TV.

Newell’s company also published the self-help book Pull Your Pants Up and be a man! by author Bernice Harris. Actor Malik Yoba (New York Undercover, Girlfriends, Why Did I Get Married?) dispenses practical knowledge and wisdom in the riveting foreword. The self-help book geared towards young men between the ages of thirteen and eighteen provides a nine-step approach to a goal-oriented life. Pull Your Pants Up was featured at the Father & Son’s Madison Square Garden event last year.

While promoting the book, there became a demand by parents of boys and girls for Newell to speak with students at schools and youth organizations. The Youth Empowerment Workshop was born. Newell is currently working on her second novel Rules of the Game.
