Honoring All Veterans on November 11th

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” – Elmer Davis

Every year on November 11th, the United States of America celebrates Veterans Day to honor all military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. This special day is dedicated to showing appreciation and gratitude for the bravery, sacrifice, and dedication of our nation’s veterans. The first official observance of Veterans Day was on November 11, 1919, which marked the first anniversary of the end of World War I. The holiday was originally known as Armistice Day and it was intended to commemorate the armistice agreement that ended the fighting between Germany and the Allied nations. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill into law to officially change the name of Armistice Day to Veterans Day. This was done to honor and recognize all American veterans, not just those who served in World War I.

Veterans Day is a time to not only celebrate our veterans, but also to reflect on the sacrifices they have made for our freedom and way of life. It serves as a reminder to show gratitude and support for our veterans, both past and present. There are many ways you can show your appreciation for veterans on this special day. You can attend local Veterans Day events, volunteer at a VA hospital or nursing home, or simply thank a veteran for their service. Small gestures like these can make a big difference in the lives of those who have served. You can also buy their books that were written by veterans.

Together, we can make a positive impact in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and way of life.

We are forever grateful for your bravery and dedication. Happy Veterans Day!

Why Ghostwriting is Hard & Not Everyone Can Do it

Ghostwriting is a challenging yet rewarding profession that involves the writing of a book and other written works for a client who is usually a business owner, CEO, or business leader. Ghostwriters work behind the scenes, creating content that will be attributed to someone else. While it may seem like an easy job, ghostwriting requires a high level of skill, experience, and professionalism. Did you know that most famous people do not write their own books that are published?

Why Ghostwriting is Hard & Not Everyone Can Do it - Richter Publishing

The Art of Mimicry

One of the main reasons why ghostwriting is hard is because it requires the ability to mimic the client’s voice and writing style. The ghostwriter’s job is to create content that sounds like it was written by the client, which means the ghostwriter must be familiar with their client’s unique writing style, personality, and voice. This can be a significant challenge, especially if the client has a distinct writing voice that is difficult to replicate. The writer must crawl inside the clients brain and pretend to be them, think like them. It’s a very emotionally exhausting process. Especially if you are writing about traumatic experiences. The writer has to be involved with them, meshing themselves as if they were actually there to write about it authentically. If the author was victimized, so is the writer so the readers feel it as one. You cry with your authors, you feel their pain too. But if you can not do this, the book will not turn out well. The. worst thing is a badly ghostwritten book.

Time Management

Ghostwriting requires a significant amount of time management skills. Ghostwriters must be able to complete assignments quickly and efficiently while maintaining the quality and accuracy of the content they produce. They must also be able to meet strict deadlines while juggling multiple projects, which can be a daunting task.

The Human Factor

Finally, ghostwriting is difficult because of the human factor involved. Ghostwriters must be able to work closely with their clients and build a strong working relationship based on trust and mutual respect. They must be able to communicate effectively and understand the client’s goals and expectations. This can be particularly challenging when working with high-profile clients who have busy schedules and specific demands.

Ghostwriting is a rewarding yet challenging profession that requires a high level of skill, experience, and professionalism. Ghostwriters must have the ability to mimic their clients’ writing style, adhere to strict confidentiality agreements while maintaining creative limitations, manage their time effectively, and work closely with their clients to understand their goals and expectations. Not everyone is suited for ghostwriting, and those who are successful in the profession have honed their skills over time and possess a unique set of qualities that allow them to excel in this challenging field.

If you need a highly skilled ghostwriter, we have those at Richter Publishing. No boo’s about it.

Friday the 13th – Did You Know It’s Bad Luck To Leave a Book Half Written?

Friday the 13th is a well-known superstition, believed to bring bad luck and misfortune. This date has been associated with several myths and stories throughout history, leading many people to fear it as an unlucky day. While some may dismiss this belief as just another superstition, others take great precaution on this particular day.

The origins of Friday the 13th being considered an ominous date are not clear, but some theories suggest that it dates back to biblical times. According to one belief, the number 13 is associated with Judas Iscariot, who was believed to be the thirteenth guest at the Last Supper and later betrayed Jesus Christ. Combining this superstition with Friday, which has been historically viewed as an unlucky day, created the ominous date of Friday the 13th.

Another theory suggests that the phobia of Friday the 13th may have originated from Norse mythology. In Norse mythology, twelve gods were having a dinner party when Loki, the god of mischief and chaos, crashed it as an uninvited thirteenth guest. As a result, he orchestrated the death of Baldr, the god of joy and happiness, leading to the belief that having thirteen guests at a dinner party would bring misfortune.

Despite its origins, Friday the 13th has become deeply ingrained in popular culture as an unlucky day. This superstition is so widespread that it even has a name – paraskevidekatriaphobia. People with this phobia may go to great lengths to avoid any activities on this day, such as scheduling important events or travel plans.

Interestingly, the fear of Friday the 13th has also led to some bizarre and irrational behaviors. For instance, some buildings do not have a 13th floor, and many hospitals do not have a room number 13. Airlines and airports often see a decrease in passengers on this day, while some people refuse to make significant purchases or investments.

As Friday the 13th may bring bad luck around the world, so is leaving a book half written. According to this superstition, not finishing your book is considered bad luck. Some believe that it brings negative energy into their writing and hinders their progress. This idea of “bad juju” has been passed down through generations of writers, and many still believe in its power.

The consequences of not finishing your book are said to be severe. Some say that it can lead to writer’s block, making it difficult for you to start another writing project. Others believe that it may bring about financial difficulties or personal problems. While there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, many writers are not willing to take the risk.

Many new aspiring authors will have nightmares until their book is finished. The half written pages haunting them until they are completed. They can’t eat or sleep as the book keeps haunting them. Gnawing away at their brain.

So how do you avoid this bad juju and ensure that you finish writing your book? Here are a few tips:

  • Set realistic goals: Instead of trying to write the entire book in one sitting, break it down into smaller, achievable goals. This will not only make the task seem less daunting but also help you stay on track.
  • Stay motivated: Find ways to keep yourself motivated throughout the writing process. This could be by setting rewards for meeting your goals, finding an accountability partner, or taking breaks when needed.
  • Don’t compare yourself to others: Every writer has their own pace and style of writing. Avoid comparing yourself to other writers and focus on your own progress.
  • Believe in yourself: Remember that finishing your book is not a matter of luck, but rather dedication and hard work. Believe in your abilities as a writer and trust that you will see the project through to the end.

While there may be no scientific evidence to support the idea of bad juju when it comes to writing, many writers still believe in its power. Whether or not you choose to believe in this superstition, it is always beneficial to set realistic goals, stay motivated, and trust in your abilities as a writer. So go ahead and finish that book with confidence and determination! So don’t let the fear of bad juju stop you from finishing your book – keep writing and remember that the real magic lies within you. So keep writing, and don’t let any superstitions hold you back! Remember, the power to finish your book is in your hands. If you need help finishing your book, reach out to us and we can help stop the nightmare!

Celebrating Labor Day with Books

Labor Day is a celebrated holiday in the US, Canada, and many other nations around the world. It honors the workers who have made significant contributions to the development and growth of the nation. Apart from the parades and barbecues, this holiday represents the resilience and hard work of the working-class population. To help you celebrate your hard work and achievements, what better way than to indulge in some good books? In this post, we will be discussing a hand-picked selection of books that not only represent the working-class but also showcase the evolving nature of people and resilience. How they are inspiring others with their works.

Mark T. Mahaffey, a living legend in Saint Petersburg, Florida, shares the story of his life-long journey as The Pathfinder. More than the name behind the iconic Mahaffey Theater, Mark Mahaffey is the patriarch of one of the largest, family-owned, real estate companies in Florida. Reflecting on the road that brought him to where he is today, he recognizes the defining moments that were the tailwinds to his success. Finding the right path is never easy, but with the support of his family, friends, and some key mentors along the way, Mark confidently navigated through some of life’s most challenging obstacles. The Pathfinder is a loving tribute to all those people who helped pave the way of the Mahaffey legacy and the friendships that have blossomed along the way. From growing up in Indiana and attending the University of Notre Dame, to serving in the Vietnam War as a U.S. Navy Lieutenant, to growing the Mahaffey Apartment Company, to exploring the world with his closest kin and kith, Mark Mahaffey hopes to inspire his readers to live life to the fullest.

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.

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.

Everyone is dealt a ‘deck of cards’ at birth. That deck can represent people’s personalities as much as disparate situations. Each card/person has a role to play in the game of life. Interdependence is key to our individual and collective survival, whether it’s finding one’s professional niche, handling difficult customers, or developing creative ideas to stop climate change. Everything and everybody affects each other. Building from the principle that we often exist in solitary ‘silos,’ Ullven provides 180 Silo Secrets which readers can immediately apply in their daily lives. She helps readers identify their “superpowers” and use those to impact their personal lives, professional lives, and local communities. Perhaps most importantly, she emphasizes that no one person can do it all, nor should anyone attempt to do so. We’re all part of a greater whole and the tools she’s provided, ranging from personality assessments to top ten lists of tips, aim to help people feel empowered, rather than overwhelmed.

An inspirational memoir of a man who escaped war torn Liberia to eventually find asylum in America. However, it was not an easy road to travel. As a child, it took Pitman and his family almost two months to walk on foot from their country into Sierra Leone. With nothing but the clothes on their backs, they had to hide from rebels who were on a rampage amputating and murdering anyone who they thought were connected to the government. In his debut book, Kennedy takes you along his journey of being a refugee from a 3rd world country to becoming a successful businessman in the states.

Books are an excellent way to celebrate Labor Day, honor the working class, and gain an understanding of the current socio-economic issues. Labor Day is a time for people to celebrate their hard work and dedication to their respective jobs. While some use the holiday as an opportunity to relax and unwind, others spend the day reflecting on how they can improve their work. Whether you are an employee, an employer, or a student, you can benefit from reading books.

See all of the amazing stories we have published on Amazon!

Fly Anyway TV Interview & Book Signing!

Tampa best friends write children’s book teaching kids to believe in themselves. TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Legend has said, aerodynamically, bumblebees shouldn’t be able to fly.

“Their bodies are too big for their little wings,” says children’s book author, Amy Quezon-Wilde. “It goes on to say that bees don’t know anything about the laws of physics and they fly anyway.”

That is the concept behind a book she and her best friend, Kelly Jo Terry wrote, called, “Fly Anyway.” The two have been best friends for 25 years. The book is a learning lesson for children, teaching them no matter what anyone says they can do anything!

Fly Anyway is a labor of love, but it stemmed from heartbreak. Kelly lost her oldest son suddenly in 2020, just before the pandemic.

“My world shut down and the entire world shut down,” says Kelly.

She also put down the paintbrush. After her son, Sam, died, she didn’t paint anything for 10 months. All the while, Amy would send her uplifting pictures of bumblebees.

“My son that passed away loved bees and was a huge environmentalist, and was very concerned about the world we lived in,” says Kelly.

Then, one day, Amy sent a picture of a bee to her friend that sparked something, and Kelly picked up the paintbrush again.

Fly Anyway the book

“You don’t feel allowed to feel joy, but she gave me joy,” says Kelly.

The two created Fly Anyway, which explains the story of Bea, who is told by other animals that can fly– she cannot.

It’s not until the end, she realizes she’s been flying all along. After writing it, they realized it mirrors the story of Kelly’s grief.

“Kelly was bee,” says Amy. “Kelly was flying anyway. She was doing things that she didn’t even realize she was doing to help other people.”

Meantime, Kelly says Sam was always her biggest fan and would be smiling at their success.

“He would be over the moon. He is over the moon, we know. He shows himself to us all the time,” says Kelly.

The authors will be doing a live reading & book signing at the Barnes & Noble located at 128 Westshore Boulevard in Tampa on August 26th 2023 from 11am – 1pm. The book can also be purchased online here: https://www.amazon.com/Fly-Anyway-Amy-Quezon-Wilde/dp/1954094345

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.
