Important Literary Mission from National Youth Book Conference : Creating Young Readers #nbcc
“The greatest gift is a passion for reading.”
Soliciting Your Help. . .
As We Re-Launch The National Youth Book Conference to Bring Black Authors and Give Books To Underserved Students
| Book Lover: The image above features 11-year-old Zariya Cherry from Houston, an author and speaker whose subject matter in her books and congenial nature make her an ideal person for us to highlight as we re-launch the National Youth Book Conference (www.nationalybc.com), a fiscally sponsored program of United Charitable, a registered 501(c)3 organization. The NYBC, a sister organization of the National Book Club Conference, was created to inspire the next generation of avid readers and potential authors. The NYBC program is multi-tiered to make the maximum impact. We need your help to make this happen. Zariya will speak to elementary students of Georgia Preparatory School outside of Atlanta on November 10th. The NYBC will fly in Zariya and her mom; put them up for a night in a hotel; supply copies of Zariya’s books that will sign for 25 students, provide snacks and an NYBC t-shirt like the one below. This costs money, of course. |
| So, today, we are launching a two-week fund-raising campaign to begin shaping young minds into young readers, ending on October 23rd. We need you help!!! Which book club will donate the most? We will acknowledge that group and send it complimentary books as a show of appreciation–and help connect that group with the author to have him/her join your book club meeting. How’s that? We will do the same for the individual who graciously contributes the most to this amazing cause. Please click here to make your tax-deductible donation. Ultimately, the NYBC program, in a fun and interactive way, helps create young readers and writers. Richard Robinson, Chairman, President and CEO of Scholastic, Inc. said: “When children read widely and often, they develop higher-order thinking skills called for by (today’s) new standard. Reading helps them to feel optimistic and to see a world in which they can reach higher and fulfill their dreams.” Our kids need that more than ever, as the movement to remove books by us, for and about us, gains momentum. This will not work without you. And as avid readers and caring people, I am confident we will make a difference in countless youths’ lives. No amount of donation is too small. Please help us by clicking here. I will share with you how much your donations added up to on October 24th. Thanking you in advance.Peace and blessings,CURTIS Curtis BunnFounderNational Youth Book Conferencewww.nationalybc.com |

#3dChicksAndSomeBooks Angelique Clemens Author of “Can I Borrow Your Skin?” In-depth Book Interview #bookpromo #michlit #michiganwriters #blackgirlmagic #motownwriters
About book:
The much anticipated debut novel of Angelique Clemens combines the storyteller of fictional novel with the step-by-step benefit of self-help books. The gripping story of a young professional woman moving through the obstacles of losing a sibling, establishing a career, and trying to find romance all while struggling with self-identification. Can I Borrow Your Skin outlines self-affirmation techniques and demonstrates their benefit for self-esteem building and self-conceptualization. The author, Angelique Clemens, walks the reader through the struggle of self experienced by the protagonist and helps them emphasize with her plight.
The novel is a unique combination of three genres and is written in the tradition of The Self-Love Workbook by Shainna Ali, 50 Shades of Grey by E. L. James, and The Dollmaker by Harriet Arnow. The author paints such a vivid story that the reader will feel immersed in the sights, sounds, and feelings as if they were walking alongside the protagonist or perhaps under her thumb.

The post-read which helps walk the reader through the mirror technique used by the protagonist in the novel. The book club aid which has some discussion topics for book clubs who read the novel.

Book Interview:
· What inspired you to write this book?
I was moved by significant events in my life and the life of those around me. Writing about those experiences and working through different outcomes is what inspires my writings. The protagonist experiences a serious loss and struggles with self identification and starts to define herself by the relationships that she maintains. As a woman who has struggled with self-concept herself, I wanted to write something that spoke to others in this situation. I used the protagonist to first show how easily self-doubt and lack of self-knowledge can manifest.
· Can you tell us about the book?
Can I Borrow Your Skin is a romance novel about a woman’s unrequited love with the reflection she saw in the mirror. The protagonist, Nicolette Guyere, experiences loss and as she mourns she spirals down a rabbit-hole of self-doubt. While working through the loss, Nicolette notes that her lack of self-knowledge was being populated based on the relationships she maintained. The resulting self was not Nicolette; in fact, she learned through working on herself using the mirror technique and self-affirmations that she was not able to be her true self with over 90% of the people in her life.
· What did you learn about yourself when writing the book?
I learned more about myself. I was already enamored with myself, but this book gave me a much deeper appreciation for who I truly am. I can honestly say that I love the woman I have become and grow deeper in love with her every day.
· What will readers walk with after reading this book?
How to love themselves. There are so many techniques on how to start the process of loving one’s self and one great example. Persons reading my book will hopefully walk away from the book thinking to themselves that it is ok to not be perfect and that trying to be what everyone expects of you will have you in a situation where you are never who you know yourself to be.
· What advice about writing, publishing and marketing would you give to other writers and authors.
1) Enjoy the process. It is long, sometimes very difficult but it is like planning a wedding or for the arrival of a child. Cherish the ups and downs. It will be over before you know it.
2) Have a plan. Outline. Set deadlines. Be organized and stick to your deadlines.
3) Your book begins and ends with your editor. Make sure you pick one that understand you, your vision, and will make the experience easier

About Author:
Angelique Clemens is a writer, scientist, and speaker. She started writing as an adolescent when she co-wrote a short mystery story about an inept murder with her mother that was published. Later, in high school, poetry that Angelique had written in French was published. Now, she writes biographical fiction around the subjects of loss, #blackgirlmagic, #alternativelifestyles, and learning to develop one’s self in a less than supportive world. Her books, generally, address these topics through the lens of the black experience. Angelique enjoys sports, scotch, and true crime novels. When Angelique is not writing, she is playing board games, coloring, or doing puzzles. She resides in Detroit with her husband.

About book:
Nicolette is a young black lawyer who struggles with the self as she wants to be seen. Her parents only see her as the child they raised, not the thirty year old woman she has grown into. Her friends see her based on their experiences with her: her sorority sisters as the girl that they pledged and crossed with; her law school friends as the smart girl that always near the top of the class; her high school friends as the shy, naive girl that they always tried to corrupt; her lifestyle friends as the strong, independent, dominant woman with undeniable skills; her sister-cousins as the little sister they never had that they have to protect and mentor; and her church friends as the pious Catholic girl. The men she dated mostly reduced her to their favorite body parts. Nicolette struggled with not living her life by others’ standards and expectations of her. She wrestles with the face that she can not be herself, her true self, around 90% of the people she know.
Can Nicolette work through her problems and learn to be the fierce person that she sees in the mirror?

When they become stranded over 150 miles from home,do they set it on the train tracks and pump it all the way back? Or, when they find a hand-drawn map their uncle created, do they follow it even further north to the long lost town of Walton Junction?
