Meet Author E.P. McGill

Slyce: Brothers and Sistah’s, please welcome our brother, Author E.P. McGill to “The Interrogation Room”!! Welcome my brother:-). Are you ready?

Slyce: What inspired you to become an author?Author E.P. McGill

EPM: For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a writer. But my inspiration comes from having understandings I believe all my people need to have.

Slyce: What is the name of your publishing company?

EPM: WE Edutainment LLC.

Slyce: In what genre do you write?

EPM: I write in whatever genre the message I wish to share will be best received.

Slyce: Have you penned under another name?

EPM: No, but I consider it often. I believe there are benefits to it if you want to go somewhere your followers may not want you to go, but the downside is becoming unknown again and having to re-establish yourself.

Slyce: You wrote a book titled, “So Much for Happy”. What was this book about?

EPM: “So Much for Happy” is my attempt to make our children proactive as opposed to reactive. It’s my attempt to get our children to think about more than the material objects society teaches them to worship. It’s my attempt to make our children woke, critically thinking individuals as opposed to sleeping sheep.

Slyce: Is this book a stand alone or a series?

EPM: It is a series. The first of ten. The series will follow the protagonist from the age, 12 to 21 in yearly intervals and show what he’ll encounter every year, from both his people and peers as well as the systems that help and hurt him.

Slyce: How important are interviews?

EPM: Interviews are as important as the contents of any book. We live in a world where we subconsciously only do as we’re told to do by advertisements with concerns to purchases. So, if you want to reach the people, you have to reach them to the devices they listen to.

Slyce: What does the term, “Building a Brand” mean?

EPM: Building a brand means taking the steps necessary in today’s time to become a household name. How good something is, is no longer enough or relevant. It’s all about assaulting someone with something until they have to have it. It’s the songs you initially hate until hearing them so much you find yourself loving them.

Slyce: What goals would you like to achieve as an author?

EPM: Universal brotherhood and an impactful change to my people. Since the so called end of slavery, non of our changes have been impactful enough to elevate us from where we were the year slavery so called ended. And when it was beginning, we fell into the traps. We need to support one another as greatly as we do others and help our struggling fellow business people through their faults and deficits.

Slyce: What advice would you like to share with aspiring authors?

EPM: Learn your craft before looking for a paycheck. A professional is defined as someone who has practiced their craft for at least ten thousand hours. That amounts to a decade or better. It takes most writers ten to twenty years to master the craft, although there are exceptions. Be on the safe side and assume you’re not the exception.

Slyce: Is there anything else cooking in the lab for Author E.P. McGill?

EPM: Absolutely! Happy is the first book I chose to publish, but it is about the twentieth I’ve written that I feel is worth of publication. And in addition to books, I write movies, the first of which I’m currently producing.

Slyce: Do you write for the passion or the profit?

EPM: Passion definitely. I’ve never made a cent from my writing despite massive investment to date. That’s only because I haven’t made my books available for sale yet. I wanted to wait until launching a national marketing campaign.

Slyce: Name three authors you’d love to work with.

EPM: Wow, they’re all dead. James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston. I’d also like to write something with Ta-Nehsi Coates. He’s dope and on point, but I believe I can expand on the streets, as he never lived that life, just witnessed it.

Slyce: Where can our viewers purchase your book?

EPM: The book will be available very soon on Amazon as well as any bookstore that will carry it.

Slyce: Is your book an eBook and/or paperback?

EPM: The book is both and also has a 51 page teaching manual that is downloaded free from my website.

Slyce: How can our viewers contact you?

EPM: I can be reached via email at: authorepmcgill@gmail.com.
