Who Is Macavelli Press?

woman-690216_640Macavelli Press is a global publishing company that gives a voice to new and existing writers of all colors, nationalities, and sexual orientations. These writers tell stories of fiction and non-fiction that permeate their world. Macavelli Press aims to expose readers to the diverse and unique ideas, philosophies and opinions of its authors, as expressed in the sentiments of their writings. Furthermore, in light of the fact that publishing houses actually read fewer than two percent of the manuscripts they receive, at Macavelli work from the premise that a lot of well- written novels are unjustifiably turned down. Therefore, Macavelli Press is partial to signing writers who have been rejected by mainstream publishers. If you have found your manuscript rejected by publishing houses like a myriad of other writers, Macavelli may present another opportunity for you to realize your dream. If you are a novice writer, an independent publisher, self-published author,small press, or mid-sized publisher, you’ve come to the right place! If your passion is to write fiction, poetry, non-fiction, science fiction or simple guides for choosing different types of gifts or the best places to have a rest, Macavelli happens to be your first stop. The bottom line is that Macavelli Press understands the frustrating and intimidating experiences writers frequently encounter when trying to publish their first manuscript. They’re attempting to enter into what can seem like a “literary insiders-only club,” and acceptance into this “association” can be challenging. At Macavelli, the discipline it takes a writer to complete a manuscript is appreciated. With this said, Macavelli Press forms alliances with writers from around the globe, from all walks of life, by partnering with them in their publishing pursuit and assisting them in manifesting their goals and objectives of putting forth their work.

This one time street-corner drug-pusher transforms herself into a gritty queenpin: the ruthless leader of a multimillion-dollar narcotics syndicate as builds her empire piece by bloody piece.

What made you write I’ll Cry Tomorrow? Writing is my passion. I like to entertain people with it. I wanted to tell the story of a black woman from urban America, influenced by urban life – who, in spite of the odds of excelling stacked against her, attains the American Dream. I wanted to tell the story of a woman who had an obvious faith in God and whose faith was the epitome of her existence. I wanted to tell a story that people could identify with, and that is the story of overcoming obstacles and rising to fame. Are any characters in the novelRead More →
