Tranquil Moments LLC Interview with Jahzara

Today we are speaking with Jahzara. She has a very unique project going on that I believe is going to be wonderful for fellow authors. I came across this project last month on our network www.fromawriterspov.ning.com and she was grateful for the invitation to do a few interviews and be our cover story for October. Today, she is going to briefly speak about her project, what she's looking for ans how you can get involved.
Dominique Watson (DW): Thank you so much for doing this interview and allowing us to get to know you and your project. Tell us how this project came about.
Jahzara Bradley (JB): Thank you for this opportunity to share. In April 2009, as I was completing production of the anthology, Never Would Have Made It: A Testimony of What God Has Done In My Life, two ideas came to me in the same day. Those were "Crazy Faith" and "It's A Love Thang."
In May 2009, while talking with Donna Osborn Clark, designer of the covers for "Never Would Have Made It" and the "Diva Project" on Mother's Day, in our conversation we began to talk about dads who are holding it down, and deserve recognition and that brought forth the idea for an anthology-- "Dads Who Are Holding It Down."
DW: You have three anthologies. Tell me why you picked these three.
JB: I wish I could say that I chose these, but really it was divine inspiration. "Crazy Faith" is needed in order for people to survive during these trying times.
"It's A Love Thang," is an anthology that celebrates married people. Individuals who are married know that after the ceremony, the reception, and honeymoon it takes love to keep the marriage in place.
"Dads Who Are Holding It Down," is an anthology that celebrates dads or father figures who are doing exceptional work in the lives of their children and/or other children in the community.
DW: What exactly are you looking for writers to bring to this project?
JB: Iam looking for individuals to submit creative and original work, and their writing should refect the theme of each anthology. Each work should be 1500-2000 words created in MicroSoft Word.
DW: What is the deadline date?
JB: October 30, 2009
DW: What all do you need from the writer for this project?
JB: Writer should submit the document on time, include their name, telephone number, email address, and home address. If selected to participate in the anthology, a bio and professional headshot will be requested.
DW: Will you be editing the work or will you publish it as is?
JB: I will edit, if need be. All work should be checked for editing, and should be smooth and polished.
DW: What are some requirements for the project?
JB: Submissions must be the author's own creative work. Submissions should be submitted on or before October 30, 2009, must be related to the theme of the book, and should hold the interest of the reader. Proof copies are to remain confidential and not to be shared with anyone.
DW: How do writers submit their work?
JB: Writers should submit their work to tranquilmomentspublishing@yahoo.com and put the title of the book as the subject.
DW: How can writers contact you?
JB: Writers can email me at tranquilmomentspublishing@yahoo.com
DW: Where can writers find more details on the work?
JB: Writers are invited to visit www.nicolebradley.com for more details.
Anticipated release for each anthology is Spring/Summer 2010. Authors may submit up to three entries for each anthology.
