Find Out What Professional Self-Publishing Is from Publishing Services Consultant Lisa Akoury-Ross

0

Lisa Akoury-Ross saw a gap between what authors and big publishing houses were producing. She launched SDP Publishing Solutions, LLC to narrow this gap and help independent authors publish their work professionally and cost effectively.

Publishing Services Consultant Lisa Akoury-Ross appeared on the Business Innovators Radio Show recently to discuss the difference between self-publishing and professional self-publishing. Business Innovators Magazine and online radio spotlights noteworthy business experts and people from around the globe innovating in their industry.

Akoury-Ross launched SDP Publishing Solutions, LLC to help authors professionally publish their work independently and cost effectively. SDP offers a wide range of publishing solutions, from literary agency representation to worldwide marketing and independent publishing. They also offer services to authors such as editorial and writing coaching services, custom book cover design, layout, marketing and publicity for both the print and e-book platforms.

“Just because you’re self-publishing doesn’t mean you don’t need professional help,” says Akoury-Ross. “I am continually amazed at how few services there are available to authors who are self-publishing in terms of developmental, editorial and marketing help.”

One of the areas Lisa feels authors skimp on is editing which hurts the quality and reader feedback on their books. Lisa’s team works hard to match authors with editors with the same genre expertise and personality.

After meeting with an author, SDP will assign two, and in some cases three different editors covering developmental editing, copy editing and proofreading. For certain projects, some editors can perform both the developmental editing and copy editing. Then the manuscript goes on to a proofreading editor. Lisa feels this is a big reason professionally self-published books turn out so much better than an author going it alone. Having multiple editors and their different sets of eyes on a manuscript is critical to upgrading the final produced book.

SDP Publishing Solutions, LLC offers a wide range of other services to help authors self-publish, including representation, design, project management and marketing.

Starting with unedited manuscripts, her family business provided full publishing services for Pearson Education, Houghton Mifflin, Aspen Law & Business and others. Lisa launched SDP Publishing Solutions, LLC to help authors independently publish their work professionally and cost effectively.

NEW YORK, NY – 2/23/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — KNeoWorld.com today announced the introduction of their award-winning online edutainment portal to the U.S. market. KNeoWorld’s games are compatible with computers, tablets and smartphones, making them the ideal learning companion for families with pre-teens on the go. Its American release also comes at the perfect time because the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently updated their longstanding “turn it off” stance in favor up to two hours of daily screen time that encourages learning and skill-building.

As an episode-based online learning platform, KNeoWorld is breaking the mold of traditional educational games by presenting content as a weekly adventure series that kids will look forward to.

KNeoWorld has already seen success in the Australian market and is eager for the next phase, introducing their innovative edutainment product to American kids, parents and educators. They have opened a new office in New York’s Times Square and boast a team of creatives, developers, educators and writers from companies like Nickelodeon and Disney.

While KNeoWorld’s games foster skills in math, science, art and other academic subjects, they also require critical thinking, memory and logical reasoning to advance through the episodes. These are often called 21st-century skills, and are essential for kids’ success in today’s world.

“We are so proud to bring KNeoWorld to the American market. Not only do the games help kids learn, but the stories also carry a positive message while being entertaining and engaging. The diverse cast of characters are relatable and are excellent role models for young people,” says CEO, James Kellett. “The graphics are rich and colorful and help to propel you into a fantastic story.”

KNeoWorld is available on a subscription basis, with a three-player monthly membership for $4.99 or an annual membership available for only $50.00.

Guidance System for the Cancer Moon Shot

Traxxsson Targeting Specific Cancer Diagnostics to Maximize Treatment Success

SAINT LOUIS, MO – 24 Feb, 2016 – You can’t get to your destination, if you don’t know where you are going.  The Cancer Moon Shot has taken on the goal of rapidly accelerating progress toward curing cancer.  Primary thrusts of this initiative include optimizing big data and combining immunotherapies with more traditional cancer treatments.  However, in order to treat cancer, it is necessary to find it.  Even better is finding cancer early, when the odds of Moon Shot treatment success are greatest.

Cancer screening can contribute as much to curing cancer as the Cancer Moon Shot treatment initiative itself.  Current screening methods for major cancers are less than perfect.  Nonetheless, breast and lung cancer screening have been shown to improve cancer survival and find cancer early.  Screening methods for most other cancers, including some deadly ones like pancreatic and ovarian cancer, do not exist.  One reason for this is economic.  It is not economically feasible to screen everyone for pancreatic or ovarian cancer when fewer than 25,000 cases of each occur annually.

To maximize the impact of the Cancer Moon Shot, cancer screening must be improved.  Traxxsson, in collaboration with major research institutions, identified six blood biomarkers (proteins) that detect most cancers, including breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, and kidney cancers.  The Company’s CancSure™ test also provides probabilities as to which cancer is present.  Screening for several cancers at once changes the economics of screening for rare cancers, since minimal cost is added to find them. Because the CancSure test can detect early, Stage I, cancers, the chances of curing your detected cancer with a Cancer Moon Shot treatment also are greatly improved.

Traxxsson’s CancSure test panel results are preliminary, and the tests are not yet commercially available.  The Company’s first test to support breast cancer screening is expected to be available in late 2016.  Traxxsson, LLC, located in Saint Louis, Missouri, has been developing cancer biomarkers since 2009 and has raised $1.5 million to date.

TAMPA, Fla. – Light Portal Technologies, maker of the Light Portal, announced today that it is offering its exclusive Light Portal Coaching Certification Program. The teacher training will create Official Light Portal Expert Coaches. Newly-credentialed coaches will have lasting, positive impacts on students’ lives. The program brings empowerment, progressive thought and a perfect complement to Life Coaches, Personal Trainers, Therapists, Yoga and Meditation teachers and any professional focusing on adding beneficial options to their clients’ life choices.

Light Portal Certification Training will be a focused seminar during which there will be plenty of hands-on teaching practice, self-study opportunities and ample time for questions. Students will learn from certified instructors to develop their own organic message and style to best integrate The Light Portal into the professionals’ existing practice.

The Light Portal is an immersive chamber equipped with proprietary light and sound technology that enables a person to enjoy transformative personal rejuvenation experiences through relaxation and meditation. Light Portal users report increased self-awareness, better work and athletic performance and improvements in emotional well-being. People who go into the Portal feeling stress and “life burn-out” emerge feeling re-fueled and re-energized. They describe a state of mind where their inner energy flows are better aligned with a sense of purpose in life.

“The Light Portal offers users a potential sensory breakthrough,” said Douglas Cornell, President and inventor of Light Portal. “We have long underestimated the impact that light, sound and vibrations have on how we perceive the world and ourselves. Now, with Light Portal, individuals can experience unique, relaxing light, sound, rhythm and flows of energies.”

The Light Portal can potentially transform an individual’s personal and professional performance capabilities by immersing the user in a focused physical space. The student will be able to enhance their clients’ lives by introducing them to a safe and comfortable atmosphere, enjoying peaceful isolation with sound, light and music tuned to the brain and body’s inner rhythms. The Light Portal allows the user to access previously unknown reservoirs of energy, stamina, talent and sensory awareness.  

The company typically works with professional partners, such as corporate fitness centers, fitness spas and professional athletic training facilities that install a Light Portal for continued use by their employees and clients. The user begins to see striking, long-term change in his or her physical, spiritual and emotional well-being, and personal and professional capabilities.

Sessions College Launches Successful “Finish Line” Retention Program

0

TEMPE, AZ – 1 Mar, 2016 – Sessions College for Professional Design has formally adopted an innovative retention program after a successful pilot program period.

Sessions is introducing this program, called Finish Line, to boost its already high completion rate at the vocational program level. Completion rates for its award-winning Professional Certificate programs are higher than 60%, exceeding the national average for post-secondary programs.

Sessions College recognized the life/work balance challenges adult learners face while they study to obtain or improve their design skill set. In September 2015, the College piloted Finish Line for students who were in danger of not completing their programs or who were concerned the remaining time constraints would diminish the benefits of their program.

Finish Line allows students in good standing the ability to extend the access to their programs or courses for a mere $25 a month for up to 12 months after the expiration of their term. No time commitment is required and there is no prepayment of the fee. This is an impactful approach to enhance the quality and flexibility of their educational experience. Most schools require students to re-enroll in their programs, causing financial hardships and often a decision not to complete a program.

Lisa Chattoo, a recent graduate of the Advanced Web Design Certificate program, stated, “When the deadline for my program was coming to an end, I started cramming in assignments staying up most nights and feeling disappointed that I couldn’t do my best work. When I found out about the extension program and its very low cost, I knew I was going to get the full benefit of my program with Sessions. It was a lifesaver!”

The Finish Line program has also been a powerful recruiting tool, according to Mhelanie Hernandez, Sessions Director of Admissions & Marketing. “We strive to make our students comfortable in the decision to enroll at Sessions. Knowing that we understand their concerns and have made a low-cost provision for an unexpected delay in completing their programs gives us a very favorable competitive distinction.”

About Sessions College

Sessions College offers accredited visual arts degree and certificate programs as well as individual courses. Its mission is to prepare art and design professionals for successful careers by providing the highest quality of online design education.

1 Mar, 2016 – AmeriCorps engages more than 75,000 Americans in intensive service each year at nonprofits, schools, public agencies, and community and faith-based groups across the country.  In Minnesota, AmeriCorps members live and breathe service, which is why the Twin Cities’ celebration of AmeriCorps Week is one of the largest in the nation. In Minnesota, AmeriCorps isn’t just nice, it’s necessary.

AmeriCorps Week is an opportunity to recognize those members, alumni and community partners for contributing their talent and resources to make a difference.”

Betsy Helmke, Vice President of the InterCorps Council of Minnesota agrees. “If volunteering is below you, leadership is above you.” 

The InterCorps Council of Minnesota is organizing a week-long celebration of service for AmeriCorps members.  This week long program includes a dodgeball tournament which doubles as a food drive, a domestic violence training, and a home building service project with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Members of the community are invited to participate and learn more about different AmeriCorps programs available across Minnesota.

“AmeriCorps Week is great because it allows AmeriCorps members to show the community the type of servicek they do and the impact they make.” – Alex Askew, President, InterCorps Council of Minnesota. 

We invite members of the press to attend our planned events for exclusive interviews with AmeriCorps members, alums, and community partners. Contact Ini Augustine at 651-315-1624 for more information.

Heber City School Awards Launches To Connect Business & Schools, To Benefit Heber City Communities

0
0
Heber City School Awards has just been founded to help schools through partnerships with businesses, providing innovative ways to create student and educator awards, scholarships, and endowments.

Education is the foundation stone of any truly free and democratic society, and is the gatekeeper to opportunity for people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. To create a greater equality of opportunity for more people than ever in Heber City, Utah, School Awards has been created. School Awards is a newly established organization that connects local business with area schools in order to create awards and scholarship programs for students and educators, while simultaneously employing widows and single mothers to administrate the organization.

The School Awards program is the brainchild of Craig Davis and Rocky Fischer, who recognized the need for comprehensive award and scholarship programs in local schools. School Awards fundamentally operates by partnering with local businesses interested in helping their community while enjoying extra exposure. 

Becoming a School Awards sponsor, whether to fund an athletic program, scholarship, or an award that recognizes students and teachers committed to excellence, creates positive branding messages and widespread marketing channels. 

School Awards serves local schools by removing the often-huge burden of fundraising through business sponsors. They offer schools a way to recognize excellence, without the usual costs of awards. By bringing together schools and local sponsors, School Awards is fostering a greater sense of community. 

Businesses select from Platinum, Gold, and Silver sponsor packages, each of which offers advertising in the form of banner ads on athletic fields, school website recognition, sponsor plaques for display, and much more. Sponsor packages combine outstanding advertising options with the feel-good quality current and potential patrons take notice of—and celebrate. 

The Awards program is also furthering their commitment to community by creating employment opportunities for widows and single mothers through their initiatives. The Widow’s Might is a subsidiary organization dedicated to helping single moms earn money without having to leave their homes and children. This creative combination resulted in an impressive, feel-good program for the community. 

Employees of The Widow’s Might form the heart of the School Awards program, and allow it to make a difference within the community. The Widow’s Might is a new and revolutionary program that allows single mothers to work from home and subsequently be there when their children come home from school. It gives them the flexibility they need to help children with homework, attend school events, and otherwise spend time with their loved ones.

A spokesperson for School Awards explained, “Education is the doorway to opportunity for children, but for mothers, whose priority is rightly on providing the best future for their children, education can only provide so much opportunity before employers seek to limit them. We are looking to solve two major challenges in modern living by offering School Awards, providing a better future for children, and The Widow’s Might, which provides a better future for both mothers and their children. And all while using a pro-business approach.”

About School Awards:

School Awards is a new Heber City program dedicated to funding scholarships and similar programs in area schools via sponsorship from the local community. Schools never pay a cent for awards and scholarships, as they’re funded by local businesses that subsequently enjoy greater exposure via banner ads and other advertising materials. The program is designed to be a win-win for the community.

A future that will shock, inspire, and thrill: The Rise of Ares

0
0

2 Mar, 2016 – Serge Alexandr is bursting onto the scene with his debut novel The Rise of Ares: Mortal Sins, the first installment in the Ares trilogy. 

The Rise of Ares is a story ripe for the times, exploring a future society that never addressed the social issues we see today, and what it means to be highly technologically advanced in a world where inequality exists.

Serge Alexandr paints a realistic, terrifyingly believable future in which financial inequality has quite literally split the race into two—those that can afford genetic manipulation and those that cannot.

Ares, our main character, is forced on a journey across a solar system filled with engineering marvels and social atrocities as he tries to flee the Bank for default, where, beneath the shiny veneer of the inner solar system, we find a society on the verge of change, plagued by dissonance, decadence, hidden AI, and strange rumors from the fringes of the outer system.

But there is nowhere to hide in a universe where everything, and everyone, is an eye. Ares soon discovers there is more to the events in his life than he ever realized. That realization, that he is a pawn in a game he can’t even fathom, sends him spiraling down a slow, dark, madness.   

The exorbitant characters very much drive the story as they rampage through the solar system in pursuit of power and wealth.

Sure to be a classic, The Rise of Ares can be found at most major retailers, or on the author’s website, www.sergealexandr.com

“A fresh, thought provoking, and exhilarating read. The universe Serge creates is both a backdrop for the roller coaster storyline, and an eye opening commentary on humanity: not only of our struggle with existence, but with our technology, forms of economy and governance, and even equality. It’s what you’d imagine if H.G.Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Ayn Rand were alive today and collaborated.”
 – JH

About the Author

Serge Alexandr resides in the Pacific Northwest, where he can be found hiking, painting, and writing.

Keith Kriegler, CEO of White Space Marketing Reaches Three Amazon Best Seller Lists with The Book Success Hackers

Success Hackers; Conversations With Elite Performers Who Have Cracked The Entrepreneurial Code with Scott Hansen featuring Keith Kriegler hits #1 in categories Knowledge Capital and Business Life Best Sellers List on Amazon.com

Keith Kriegler, hit #1 on the Amazon.com Category Best Sellers List on February 19th, 2016 for the release Success Hackers; Conversations With Elite Performers Who Have Cracked The Entrepreneurial Code. The book also ranked No. 1 in the Ethics category.

Success Hackers is a compilation of 1 on 1 conversations with some of the top entrepreneurs in their industry. Each contributing author reveals their strategies for helping overcome the toughest obstacles standing in the way of their customers’ success.

Keith was always a commissioned salesman and liked the ability to be financially responsible for his livelihood based on his own efforts. He enjoys working with people and has a knack for being able to make people feel comfortable, open up and share their challenges. Keith worked at three different radio stations and the last one forced him to face a simple truth: he wasn’t comfortable playing corporate politics to get promoted.

Shortly after this realization, Keith set up a meeting with both the General Manager and his Local Sales Manager at the last station where he worked. He turned in his resignation; and then at the same time asked them to hire him as an independent contractor to handle all their value-add marketing programs. He was prepared with a full proposal, including his monthly fee plus commission based on his performance. The General Manager signed the document on the spot.

That’s when Keith became an entrepreneur.

Years ago he saw Arthur Blank speak at an entrepreneur’s conference. It was when Arthur was launching Home Depot in Atlanta, and he spoke of his vision for the company. At the time, there were only neighborhood hardware stores, and most national chains were very similar. They didn’t see a need for it. But that’s not what Arthur thought. He had a vision of what Home Depot could be and articulated it very clearly.

It was a transforming experience.

Keith remembers thinking: “This guy has a crystal ball. He can see the future, and this is going to happen”. He saw Arthur’s clarity, passion, commitment and willingness to go against the grain. Arthur Blank inspired Keith to believe in his vision and dreams. Just because a few people cannot immediately see what is possible doesn’t mean it does not exist or that there is not a need for it.

Keith Kriegler explains, “Our company is White Space Marketing. The inspiration behind the name is that it’s about all the new possibilities that can open up when you look at every aspect of a situation with fresh eyes and fresh thinking to find the key insights. In other words, “White Space” means “opportunities.”

Fitness Expert Corey Nielsen Wages War On The Food Industry

0
0
Corey Nielsen, a fitness and nutrition expert from Salt Lake City, Utah, is waging his own personal war on the food industry’s misinformation campaign. Upset by the overwhelming amount of misleading and destructive nutrition information being piled on the average American consumer, Neilsen seeks to educate and empower those who desire to lead happier and healthier lives.

It has long been believed that the food industry has been adding many unnecessary preservatives, fillers and, by extension, calories to much of the food that is being put on the shelves in America’s supermarkets and health food stores. Fitness trainers and nutritionists across the United States have been working to educate the population about the unnecessary health risks of too much processed food in their diets for decades. Unfortunately, the situation appears to only be getting worse. The United States is one of the most obese countries on the planet.

Fitness and fat loss expert Corey Nielsen has had enough and he is waging his own personal war on the food industry’s misinformation campaign. His goal is to help people improve their health and well being. Nielsen is offering a series of free seminars, workshops, and even a free e-book about simple ways the average person can improve their health and well being through proper, fact-based, nutrition education and exercise science.

“I see people everyday who have been caught up in the tsunami of misinformation propagated by the food industry and a major portion of the supplement industry. I love helping people achieve their fitness goals and it makes me angry that so many wonderful people have been taken advantage of and had their health unnecessarily put at risk,” stated Nielsen.

Nielsen’s one-man vendetta against the food industry is already starting to have an impact. Nielsen’s clients are seeing massive results from his philosophies and training methods and they are spreading the word through their communities. Nielsen’s BNI (Business Networking International) group is even hosting him to teach free workshops and events to help improve its members health and welfare.

Author Jeni Duell Announces Empowering New Book

Decorated author Jeni Duell shares her story of surviving decades of domestic abuse with her new book “From Night to Light”. Scheduled for a Summer 2016 release, Duell hopes her story will help give those trapped in abusive relationships the inspiration and empowerment needed to overcome them.

No stranger to the written word, Jeni Duell has is a decorated author having produced short stories such as What Has Kenneth Done, The Sot of Bereaved Seas as well as several published articles. With most of her works being fiction, her announcement to release From Night To Light, an autobiographical piece centered around her personal experience with domestic abuse, shows a different side to this creative writer.

“Someone who was in my position doesn’t think they can get out.” Duell explains. Having been in an abusive relationship spanning over two decades, she shares first-hand how trapped a person can feel. “I didn’t think I could get out for 19 of those years. I was really trying to, but I didn’t think I could. I know that mindset. You’re just really stuck, like it’s a prison.”

With an average of 20 people per minute being physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States (source: www.ncadv.org) Duell’s story carries significant personal and social relevance. “It took me a long time to overcome what I was going though, but I want to help others see that [being trapped] isn’t the case. If I could relate to someone else’s experience, share what I went through and how I overcame it, I think that would really help a lot of people.”

From Night To Light is scheduled for release in Summer 2016.
