About the author

Gentamu (Jen) McKinney was born into politics, philanthropy and volunteerism. Being the daughter of the late Gene Allen
McKinney, a Black Panther member and civil rights activist, she began to follow in her father's footsteps by letting her voice be
heard to make changes in her community and abroad. In addition, Jen became a mental health advocate following her
mother's own battle with mental illness. In 2015 she founded AWARENESS AFTER DARK, a nonprofit organization that focuses
on erasing the stigma associated with mental health in the African-American community. Each July she hosts a mental health

event called LET'S GET MENTAL in recognition of minority mental health month. Jen also directed and produced an award-
winning documentary (LET'S GET MENTAL) that was featured at the Pan African Film Festival in Cannes, France. She recently
began designing trendy, fashion-forward apparel designed to put a positive image on the face of the stigma of mental health.
Jen, combining her love for travel and giving back, created Work-n-Play Co - a social responsibility company that combines
adventure and volunteerism. The company's motto is "Don't just see the world, Give Back to it". And in 2019, she released her
first co-authored E-book, Glambitious Guide to Win in 2019, that helps readers embrace the unknown channeling her personal
motto "Just Do It & Do It Scared".

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t know that it’s no longer necessary to work with a publisher—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and deduct more costs on the back end whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We provide all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher to turn your manuscript into a market-ready book—editing, cover design, interior layout, proofreading, eBook formatting, and more—at the traditional publisher level. Unlike a publisher, we’ll help you obtain print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name so that you earn, in most cases, several dollars more for every book sold instead of a measly “royalty.”

We’ll customize a package of services to suit your exact needs at affordable prices ranging from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity. And we’ll manage all the intricacies of book production, so you don’t have to. After this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
