Happy 4th of July! Embrace Your Freedom to Read.

Happy 4th of July From Richter Publishing!

On July 4th, American citizens celebrate the day independence was born. The 4th of July is more than just backyard barbecues and fireworks. It’s about the patriotism that comes with freedom, something this great country was built on. As we celebrate our freedom to express ourselves, let’s not forget the freedom to read. Books have been known for challenging societal norms and promoting critical thinking. In the same way, reading has been fundamental in shaping the United States.

The freedom to read is more than just the First Amendment. It’s about educating oneself, exploring other cultures, and being exposed to new ideas. Access to books is crucial in developing a well-informed citizenry that can fully participate in society. A free society depends on intellectual freedom and the ability to exchange information. Reading literature that challenges your views or educates you on unfamiliar topics is important. That’s why organizations such as Banned Books Week and the American Library Association are essential. Together they understand the importance of preserving the freedom to read.

Freedom to Read

Reading builds empathy and promotes human connection. Through literature, we can understand different perspectives, traditions, and cultures. This is fundamental, especially in such a diverse country like America. By reading stories of immigrants, we can understand the struggles they face in their journey to the United States. Understanding their stories cultivates empathy in others, making it easier to identify with their experiences. Reading is a critical tool in building a unified, inclusive, and diverse community.

Reading has also played a significant role in American history. Literature has been a key aspect of shaping the United States. Reading the declaration of independence and the constitution has been integral in upholding American values. During civil rights movements, literature such as novels by Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou had a significant impact on the public’s view of African American culture. By reading these works, the public could understand the struggles that maligned communities were going through. The stories of these authors humanized marginalized communities and helped break down stereotypes.

Publish a Book, Leave a Legacy

This 4th of July, as we celebrate freedom, let’s not forget the freedom to read. Books have been instrumental in shaping our society, concepts, and ideas while playing a role in shaping the United States. It’s critical that the right to read is not taken for granted or censored. Reading extends to everyone, and it’s important that we preserve the freedom to access literature that educates us significantly. This 4th of July, embrace the freedom to read. Borrow and read books that challenge historical views, explore different perspectives, and teaches us about a befittingly rich history. Embrace intellectual freedom, and always remember the power of a good book.

Are Ebooks are the future of reading? In the digital age, it’s hard to imagine a world that doesn’t revolve around technology. With the rise of smartphones and tablets, we have seen a shift in the way we consume content. The world of books has also been transformed, with many people choosing to read on their electronic devices rather than turning the pages of a physical book.

One of the biggest advantages of ebooks is convenience. With an ebook, you can carry an entire library on your device, making it easy to take anywhere and read at any time. No more lugging around heavy books during your daily commute or when traveling. Ebooks also offer the convenience of instant purchasing, with no need to leave your home to buy the latest release.

Another significant advantage of ebooks is cost. They are often cheaper than physical books, and there are even free ebooks available, making reading accessible to anyone with an internet connection. With ebooks, there are also no shipping costs, making them a more budget-friendly option.

Ebooks offer customization options that physical books cannot match. You can adjust the font size, line spacing, and screen brightness to your personal preference, making it easier on the eyes and more comfortable to read for extended periods. Those with vision impairments can take advantage of text-to-speech, audio descriptions, and larger font sizes. Ebooks also offer additional features such as a built-in dictionary, taking the reading experience to a new level.

With the increasing concern for the environment, ebooks offer a more eco-friendly option. By eliminating the need for paper and production processes, ebooks help to reduce our carbon footprint.

Ebooks provide numerous benefits over physical books. From convenience and customization to cost, environmental factors, and accessibility, ebooks offer the modern reader an experience that physical books cannot match. While some die-hard book lovers may still prefer the feel and scent of a physical book, it’s hard to ignore the many advantages that ebooks offer. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see a continued shift towards electronic reading, making it possible for more people worldwide to partake in the joy of reading.

Riley & Her BIG Feelings at School: Empowering Children Through Stories

Riley and Her Big Feelings at School by Cassie L. D'Addeo

As parents and educators, we often teach children the ABCs of school subjects and encourage them to develop their physical skills through play and sports. However, one aspect of child development that is often overlooked is emotional literacy. Fostering social and emotional intelligence is a crucial factor in the healthy development of a child, and what better way to promote these skills than through storytelling? This is why children’s books about feelings are vital in helping kids understand and manage their emotions.

Reading books that explore themes such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation can help children learn about emotions in a non-threatening way, making them more sensitive to their emotions and better equipped to handle them. For example, children’s books about anxiety can help children understand what anxiety feels like, how it affects them, and what techniques they can use to manage and alleviate their symptoms. This, in turn, provides them with a deeper sense of self-acceptance, confidence, and an improved sense of control over their own emotions.

When children read stories that reflect their experiences, they feel heard and understood. Books about different emotions can help children feel validated and less alone in their struggles. They also learn to appreciate diversity and develop their capacity for empathy, as they identify with characters who have different backgrounds, experiences, or emotions. Furthermore, books that include positive representations of emotions also help to affirm children’s positive expression of emotions.

Books about emotions help teach kids that emotions are a normal part of life, and that everyone experiences them. By learning about the emotions of others, children become more compassionate and learn to empathise with those around them. When children have this kind of understanding, they are less likely to internalize negative emotions, they learn to recognize when they have a problem, and are more likely to ask for help when they need it. All of these factors can help build resilience, promote positive self-identity, and improve overall mental health in children.

Our new book, Riley & Her BIG Feelings at School by Cassie L. D’Addeo, helps children identify and manage their emotions. It is normal for students to experience BIG feelings that are sometimes hard to manage at school. Riley’s story is designed to validate and inspire young students to be open and honest with their trusted adults about big feelings. This educational resource helps cultivate emotional intelligence, develop empathy, and enhance resiliency in our youngest scholars. Join Riley on her journey of self-discovery and her excitement to share what she has learned with the other pupils.

Riley and Her Big Feelings at School by Cassie L. D'Addeo

Children’s books about feelings are an essential tool for fostering social and emotional intelligence in children. They promote emotional intelligence, help kids communicate better, build stronger relationships, and develop positive mental health. Moreover, they can help children learn to understand, manage, and navigate their emotions. It is crucial to incorporate these stories into your child’s development program or at home, to help lay a foundation of emotional intelligence that will improve their overall well-being and success in life.

The Last Dance by Edward Porcelli
THE LAST DANCE: The Eagles’ Rise to Extinction by Edward Porcelli

For the baseball lover. A true story about college players. On February 11th, 2021, The North Carolina Central Baseball team walked into a meeting with the university’s athletic director, expecting to be told they were canceling the upcoming season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, they were told their school was canceling baseball altogether, and that the 2021 season would be its last for the Eagles. Across the nation, historically black colleges and university baseball programs, are on the chopping block. This is the true story of the events leading up to that fateful day and how the NCCU baseball family persevered over the following months. Assistant Coach and author, Ed Porcelli, gives a first-hand account of how the players, coaches, friends, and baseball alumni of NCCU baseball, dealt with the loss of its program. What was the real reason as to why the administration decided to drop baseball? Was this really a financial decision due to the covid pandemic, or were there other factors at play? Be in the dugout, with the players and coaches, as Central enjoys its best and last season representing the Eagles. Presidential photographer Al Drago illustrates the many different emotions of the players during their final season, capturing the last moments of the Eagles, before their inevitable extinction.

Fly Anyway by Amy Quezon-Wilde and Kelly Jo Terry
Fly Anyway by Amy Quezon-Wilde  (Author), Kelly Jo Terry (Illustrator)

For kids story time. Legend has it that there is a quote that hangs in the halls of NASA that reads, “Aerodynamically a bumble bee’s body is not made to fly because the breadth of it’s wings is too small to keep it’s huge body in flight. The good thing is, the bee doesn’t know that and flies anyway.”

This is the story of a little bumble bee who dreams of flying but from the start is told all the reasons why she can’t. Determined, she sets off on a journey that takes her from the beach, to the mountains, to the jungle and lots of places in between. Along the way she learns through friendship and perseverance to believe in herself and fly anyway.

UFO’s Fact or Fiction?

Polls tell us that the majority of Americans believe in UFOs. While government recently acknowledged the existence of UFOs, it is widely believed that government knows much more than they’ve released to the public. So where can someone curious about this subject go to find more specific information? Powerful alternative sources of information can be found on the internet from witnesses, whistle-blowers, academic researchers, military experts, and scores of interested people. However, separating fact from fiction may be difficult. This UFO book is a compilation of all the experts, their stories and research in one resource for you the reader to decide what is fact or fiction.

It appears likely that the keeper of secrets may not even be the government. If true, this might be advantageous to the designers of weapons of war, and those charged with protecting our country from external threats. But what is advantageous to government may be disadvantageous to the public welfare. For example, what if UFO research led to achieving nuclear fusion which in turn led to supplying the country with abundant, cheap, non-polluting energy, and ending our reliance on fossil fuel? Though there is no way to measure lost opportunity, it just the same is a real loss.

For many years, UFO sightings and reports of alleged alien encounters have been reported around the world. These strange phenomena have caused much debate and speculation about their origin. While some people believe that these UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin, others are more skeptical and attribute them to natural causes or misidentified aircrafts. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, research into this phenomenon continues as many seek answers to the unresolved questions surrounding UFO sightings and alien encounters. With advances in technology, researchers now have access to data from all over the world which could potentially provide insight into these mysterious events. Through further investigation and analysis of evidence, we may finally be able to gain a better understanding of what exactly is behind these unexplained occurrences. With more information, we can strive towards uncovering the truth behind these mysterious UFO sightings and alien encounters. 

A UFO Story Are We Alone?

The field of ufology is a complex one, with scientists and researchers investigating all aspects of possible extra-terrestrial influence from all around the world. This includes studying sightings, examining reports, analyzing evidence, and looking for patterns in events to try to find conclusive answers to the questions surrounding UFOs and aliens. Despite many skeptics claiming that there is no proof that extraterrestrials exist, there are still those who believe that life beyond Earth exists and has had some kind of contact with humanity. With more research into this phenomenon, we can hope to gain better insight into what exactly is happening when it comes to these strange occurrences. 

No matter your opinion on UFOs or Aliens, it is clear that this is an area of research worth further exploration. By continuing to investigate sightings and reports, and analyzing evidence more closely, we can move closer towards understanding what may be behind the phenomena. Until then, the subject remains a mystery and continues to fascinate the minds of many. 

This book by William Northwall, has been compiled to help those make their own opinions. The second edition has 100 pages of new information, like the findings at Skin Walker Ranch. Get your copy and see what is really out there in the universe waiting for us.

We want you!

Richter Publishing is working on a documentary about the publishing industry. It is a blackhole of information out there for new authors. And they get lost in figuring out the different avenues like traditional, indie and self publishing to see which one is the right one for them. Many times they get taken advantage of in the process. This is why we started Richter Publishing 10 years ago. To help authors. We want to interview authors who have already published their books and have gone through other avenues to their book out there. We want to hear your experiences. The good, the bad and the ugly!

We are working with a Capstone class at USF to assist us with the documentary. Please fill out our google form if you would like to be considered for the film. We will reach out to you if we feel your story is a good fit.
