Fresh Anointing Books is the self-publishing company that I, LaSundra Pitts founded to release my R.E.D. Fiction novels (Relevant Every Day Fiction) a new genre that I am dubbing a mash-up of Women's Fiction/Christian Fiction, but not even close to erotica. I have a 23-book series that has been laid out with three of the books completed and released within the last six months, leaving twenty more to go. Though this investment will not be for all 23 books, it would be the start needed to build the F.A.Books brand and ensure a strong foundation for the future of my writing career.
I chose the Ask For Funding platform because of what my spiritual eyes and ears heard while researching it. The Bible said if you ask, you shall receive, so I am asking for funding. The investors here are not just investors, but Angel Investors. I could have chosen a platform that was free or paid with the proceeds, but the Bible tells me that if you expect to reap a great harvest, you must first sow. So, I have sown $99 into Ask For Funding standing on the principal that my God is ordering me feet and connecting me with Godly people who will sow into the visions that He has given unto me.
God has given me the grace to write these novels and connect to brilliant people along the way. I have an excellent graphic artist who designs the covers for my books by the name of Jesus Cordera. I found him online and the name of his company jumped out because it was similar to mine. His company is Anointing Productions, mine is Fresh Anointing Books. The fact that his name was Jesus sealed the deal, and his turnaround time and finished products are magnificent. See for yourself at my amazon page, amazon.com/author/lasundrapitts.
What I'm looking for is to take my writings up a notch with professional editing before placing my books into the mainstream, like Ingram Spark and Audible. I currently have three books on Amazon using their KDP platform. The good thing with KDP is that you can make changes for free. I would like the books to have a professional edit prior to mass distribution. Editing the completed three books and the next four books, which I plan to release in 2021 would cost roughly $17,500 for a total of seven completed books and around $20,000 to make Audible books for that non-reading audience. The remaining $12,500 would be for a few pre-launch expenses such as, book cover designs, book formatting, and sending manuscripts to pre-readers. The majority of the balance would be for post-launch expenses, official book launch parties, currently virtually and in-person when the pandemic is over, press release kits, promotional give-a-ways, banners and printed books for conferences, conference fees and travel expenses, running ads on Amazon, Goodreads, Book Funnel, etc.
The outcome that I stand boldly expecting my Father to perform is to reach the masses of people that I know my books are written for. I know that God did not give me this gift for me alone, but it was meant to overflow into the world. My books represent underrepresented characters, identities, and cultures. I believe that there are wide selections of historical books, mythical tales, erotica novels, suspense and mystery thrillers. What’s missing are books about normal, everyday people like you and me, who are just trying to live their best possible life. My novels are centered around the biggest, most important and necessary topic of all, God. I pray my books will be open windows and sliding doors that will cause my readers to self-reflect on their life and how they can make it better.

Thank you for your time and consideration. May God continue to bless everything that you put your hand to do, in Jesus' name. Amen.
