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 realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: 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. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

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, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
