Promo and Funding
Aside from Music and Media, I’ve planned book launches and tours for each of my titles. Getting Us to Grandma’s is my tenth book. Partially set in the Bronx in 1980s, I envisioned a themed book bash celebration of my childhood era to celebrate this milestone as well as my other books— my biggest launch ever.
Book launches are funded by a combination of a few ways. As an author, over the year, I’ve mostly covered the costs of my launches. My publisher is assisting with $200. This year, I learned about the Writers Union Public Readings grant to which I applied to. For the first time, I will receive a presentation fee ($300) for my reading at my launch. This year, I applied to the Toronto Lit Up grant for the second time. I did not receive it… again. This popular and generous grant receives more applications then available funding. And I’m so happy for the authors, my peers and friends, who have received these funds over the years. As much as I am happy, I know that it could have helped me cover the costs for the big launch I had planned.
I’m a child of the 1980s and I see this launch of Getting Us to Grandma’s not only as the launch of my new book, but as a celebration of my body of work, inspired by the 1984 road trip my family took from Toronto to the Bronx. Think 1980s rap and other genres of the era, birthplace of rap and hiphop culture, graffiti, breakdancer, beatbox, etc. If you would like to assist with a donation or gift, however small, I would greatly appreciate it. You can e-transfer funds to: [email protected]. Thank you.
