Meeting the God of America project Q&A

Thank you for looking. I will attempt to answer some of the questions you may here.

My life has been directed toward helping others in a very real and tangible way, not with simply words. This is a driving force in my life, and with the Meeting the God of America project, I hope to continue this path. If you look through my website, you will discover this.

1 – Editing - I will be editing, however, not for content, only for technical items. Part of this project is for the reader to hear from the writer of his or her own piece. I will include many of my own thoughts in the book, but will not change and meaning, intent, or content of the contributing writer. You may certainly see the finished product prior to publication. You have my word on that.

2 - Purpose - In short, to provide a tool to bring about peaceful yet complete dialogue. There are many views held in this particular area, most of them differing at least to some degree. Differences are fine. However, the anger and judgment stemming from these differences are not. I certainly have my own strong views. I am careful at this point not to share them in order to keep this project clear and unpolluted. My primary goal is to help bring about peace without compromise of belief. Secondly, it is my feeling that those who choose to contribute a piece to this project will have to dig deep within themselves. I feel this is an excellent exercise for all of us. Some will discover they may believe something slightly or greatly different than they thought when first starting this project. Others may really provide for themselves a more solid foundation for what they do believe. A journey of discovery is an awesome journey. Too many of us are not grounded in what we say we believe; we just believe what we are told. I am hoping for some soul searching.

3 - Target Audience – We are targeting the entire country and beyond. I am being serious. I have no illusions of that actually happening, but it is my target. When I put my mind to something, I am known to achieve it in large part. I believe in the project.

4 - Publishing - I am hoping for a house. I believe that will be the case. I have already done one radio interview. I have more scheduled as of this writing. This project is still young (at least actively) and the response is simply incredible. A television producer has contacted me as well. We will see what comes of that. This is just something that has grown legs, as some things do. I can also use CreateSpace (an Amazon company) or LuLu; just not sure yet. As far as marketing - I am very good at that and have no worries there. I am shooting for OPRAH...smile.

5 - Distribution - Depends. If a house picks it up it will be immediately wide. If I use CreateSpace I will do much myself (as I have done before). I intend on wide distribution, and I am good at getting done what I want to get done.

6 - Contributors – We have twenty-five committed and writing to this point (as of this writing). Others, such as you, are considering. And others, remain untapped. For those, I am still making efforts to reach. The range of contributors is large.

I hope this has answered your questions.

Contact me if you have others.
