The devels went into my computer and removed the information I have written for this paragraph and I have to recreate it the best way I can. All of the devels are all Close “nits”. You are all in the giganaminous, naminous, naminous, naminous, naminous Gazilliantaminous, taminous, taminious, taminous, taminious, Thrillianth Degreezes and beyond “Tightly Clad” Man Batty Business. You are all DEAD. You are OVER. You are the true “BOMB”. Batty Over Man Business or Batty Over the Man Business. Deceiving Devels Look into all the States or Countries USA, Europe, China, Korea, Russia, Germany, Middle East, Africa, and you will see the tightly clad military, army, militias, and others who have turned against themselves, and each other: brothers killing brothers, man destroying woman, brothers terrorizing brothers, brothers cutting out brothers. They are all in the “Man Man Business” and are all Frounsy Batty Shits. Below are some of the States Leaders. European Parliament/Presidents North Korea President Kim Jong Un and nuclear weapon display China leaders along with Xi Jinping President USA Congress and Senators http://www.naturalearthforall.com Page 2 of 28 http://www.facebook.com/naturalearthforall.com Paulett Angella Hemmings Mighty Chreator Morocco Parliament Angola General Assembly Members of the Russian Parliament Kenya Parliament The Military Existence The Military is not government, it is not State, it is not city, it is not town, it is not county it is not municipal. The military is privately funded by all Presidents and leaders of a State or country illegally with my money to kill my children. The military are trained to kill and to obey the orders of the president whatever that order is, they carry it out. The military tear down everything and anything. The military are the millipede insects who tear it (mili-tear-e). The insect presidents have ordered the military to tear up and down my Earths and chreations. The military go away for one, two, three, and more years from their families, while they travel out of the Earth, living illegally in my chreations areas, killing, torturing, terroring, destroying my children, my property, and tearing down my chreations outside the Earths. They travel many distances, levels, and elevations, that they are never to go into, but they are under the order of the president or the country leader that they must obey. All members of the armed force or law enforcement are military. All police are forms of military. The secret service is a form of military. All Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Secret Service, and TSA are forms of military. If you taste the military food that is in the can, it does not have any spice, seasoning, and very little oil if any. That is because the food must not be nutritious and must not have any protection in it, so the devel insects can get inside of the military workers so the devels can control their head, hands, and feet. The military must never be in charge of anything or anyone, no matter how bad it is. The Military are taught to fight, to kill and to destroy. The military are trained to tear down anything and anyone. The military know that you have inner selves. They are trained to get http://www.naturalearthforall.com Page 3 of 28 http://www.facebook.com/naturalearthforall.com Paulett Angella Hemmings Mighty Chreator inside your bodies and to tear you down on the inside and to remove your body protection and to put many strings and attachment inside your body, so the others outside can get to control you both inside and outside. The military put many fiber strings inside your body that almost look like a web and it connect from your head to your fingers, breasts, toes and private parts like your cocky, pussy and your internal organs that connects to your bottom. They can prevent you from passing your feces or shit when you need to do so. They can prevent you from seeing things the normal way and make your eyes blurry. They can prevent your earing from operating in the normal way and can open your hearing, so you hear them and others. When they tear down your body, you feel the sting, pinch, biting, chewing, burning, and the scratching even the smallest of hairs on your face or skin you can feel them pulling strings across it so you scratch or irritated. The military go into your body with many others to use your hands and feet to fight and to use your mouth to create conflict with others and you do not know that your brain and speech is controlled by them. The military instigate wars as the devel insect like terror and death, hunger, lack, and like when things are torn down and decaying. The military and many others planned wars, terrors, killings, even on their own relative, siblings or parents if the insects want that to be done. The military kill for the sake of killing and they work with the newspapers, TV reporters in doing their wicked acts and in reporting what they want you to hear. The TVs and newspaper help them to kill, tear down, terror, destroy and they plan attacks on a person, a community, a town, a state, a country or outside the Earth chreations. The killings like the Nicole Simpson, Ron Goldman/OJ Simpson case of the past is something that the military can carry out, as it is brutal, it needs a lot of strong manpower, no one can fit the pieces together, and it cannot be explained. The military also use the incondesant covering to go around killing my children to give the police, the newspaper, TV reporters, Court system, the attorneys, the hospitals, the morgues, the coroners, the records office, the funeral parlors, and banks and financial institutions, work to do. All of these are controlled by the insect devels and works of wickednesses. The military are the inurrectioners and they waste my money and my time. They control the time, they cut the time away from us, and they rush us to get things done in their short- timeframe. All the military does is to go on advance training of wickednesses. They get higher and higher into saucery as they go deeper and deeper into the works of the devel. The military they do a lot of children playing and horse playing to pass time, as they have no real work to do only to kill and destroy. I am not able to do my work as the military and other federals are terroying me. I can’t even eat any food as the terror gets higher and higher and these documents are to be worked on, but they are killing me by the second every day. They abuse my money. I don’t even have money to buy basic necessities or food. I am not able to pay my mortgage and my espenses, but they can waste my money while my children live in lack. The military came into my house on November 6, 2016 and they tore down my roof and they walked through the paper walls the government allows the builders to use in building the homes.

  • How to Choose a Self-Publishing Service ALLI #1
    ALLi (The Alliance of Independent Authors) is the nonprofit professional association for authors who self-publish and want to do it well. Our motto is “Working together to help each other” How to Choose a Self-Publishing Service ALLI #1 As soon as an author starts to consider self-publishing, questions begin to arise. Some are fear-based questions like: What will others think? Will I have the same status as a “properly” published writer? These we can ignore, as we must ignore all self-doubt that interferes with creative output and flow. But valid, work- centered, creative questions also arise: “Do I have what it takes to go it alone and publish well?” “What services and supports do I need?” “What kind of provider is best for me as an author and the book I want to publish?” “How much will it cost me?” “How much can I make? Do I want to make a living at this?” “Who offers the best services for me and this particular project?” It’s not easy. An industry has sprung up We all need editors and good promotional around self-publishing and it’s growing at plans, at a minimum, if we are to do this great speed, with trade publishers who job well. Many others need assistance with traditionally invested in authors now design and production issues and publicity. getting charging for services. This is why author services are now in big demand. To become a self-publisher is to step from one work sector into another. Writing is When demand for any service is high, self-expression; publishing is business, for scammers and schemers circle.

  • The Four Paths to Publishing
    THE FOUR PATHS TO PUBLISHING Revolutionary changes and unprecedented opportunities in publishing have established four clear paths that authors follow to achieve their publishing goals. by Keith Ogorek Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Author Solutions, Inc. The past four years have brought about more upheaval in the publishing industry than the previous 400 years combined. From the time Gutenberg invented the printing press until the introduction of the paperback about 70 years ago, there weren’t many groundbreaking innovations. However, in the last few years, the publishing world has undergone an indie revolution similar to what occurred in the film and music industries. With the introduction of desktop publishing, print-on-demand technology, and the Internet as a direct-to-consumer distribution channel, publishing became a service consumers could purchase, instead of an industry solely dependent on middlemen (agents) and buyers (traditional publishers). In addition, the exponential growth of e-books and digital readers has accelerated change, because physical stores are no longer the only way for authors to connect with readers. While these changes have made now the best time in history to be an author, they have also made it one of the most confusing times to be an author. Not that long ago, there was only one way to get published: find an agent; hope he or she would represent you; pray they sell your book proposal to a publisher; trust the publisher to get behind the book and believe in the project; and hope that readers would go to their local bookstore and buy your book.

  • Silver City Public Library Guide to Self-Publishing Resources
    Silver City Public Library Guide to Self-Publishing Resources There are many possibilities for aspiring authors to publish their work independently. Authors can self-publish in various formats—print, e-book, or audiobook. When working with any type of publishing service, make sure to find out what legal rights you are granting the service provider to your work. As an example, the agreements for Amazon’s CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing request permissions to distribute the work globally. However, they state that the authors retain the copyright. The Silver City librarians and self-publishing panelists are not lawyers, so our ability to offer guidance is very limited.

Instead of having us pay something we just cannot afford, eat the costs and work with The Book Patch, Blurb.com, Print to Press, and A Buzz Press, then learn how to arrange it like a Lulu.com deal. There's extra steps working with these two, and then you have Faststone.org for your imaging programs. Booktango knew why I joined up ­­ it was to give The Book Patch more visibility.

  • KENNEALLY: and Welcome, Everyone, to Bookexpo America 2013 to a Program We Call Self-Publishing: Disruptor Or Defender Of
    Self-Publishing: Disruptor Or Defender Of The Book Business? Recorded May 31 at BookExpo America 2013 For podcast release Monday, June 24, 2013 As James McQuivey, the highly-regarded Forrester Research analyst and author of Digital Disruption, notes, competitors in publishing and across all industries are taking advantage of innovative technologies to undercut competitors, get closer to customers, and disrupt the usual ways of doing business. Recorded at BookExpo America on May 31 (and carried “live” on C-SPAN2), McQuivey – along with Keith Ogorek of Author Solutions and Angela James from Carina Press – looked at the disruptive effects that the growth of “self-publishing” are having on traditional book industry players. With CCC’s Chris Kenneally as moderator, panelists also considered how authors and publishers can best follow McQuivey’s key advice: “Disrupt yourself.” KENNEALLY: And welcome, everyone, to BookExpo America 2013 to a program we call Self- Publishing: Disruptor or Defender of the Book Business? Good afternoon. My name is Chris Kenneally. I’m business development director for Copyright Clearance Center based in Boston, Massachusetts. I’m very happy to have you join us for this special program live on C-SPAN2. We’re going to look at the way that self-publishing is driving itself into the traditional publishing business, and I’d like to start by asking you if you’ve read the latest report on the book publishing industry. The headline reads – well, it always reads – Upheaval Predicted. According to Bowker, self-publishing is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the publishing industry that is under such upheaval.

  • By Jessica Nicole Burch Senior Honors Thes
    WHAT CAN THE TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING INDUSTRY LEARN FROM THE SELF-PUBLISHING INDUSTRY? by Jessica Nicole Burch Senior Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of English and the Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts May, 2017 Approved by: _______________________________________________________________ Rosemary Horowitz, Ph.D., Thesis Director _______________________________________________________________ Sarah-Beth Hopton, Ph.D., Reader _______________________________________________________________ Angela Mead, Ph.D., Reader _______________________________________________________________ Kristina Groover, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director _______________________________________________________________ Ted Zerucha, Ph.D., Interim Director, Honors College Burch 2 Abstract The traditional publishing industry has been a staple in the book publishing industry for over a century. However, in 2005, Amazon created the self-publishing site, CreateSpace. This website changed the game for the book publishing industry by offering authors through self- publishing what they could not get through traditional publishing. Each industry has its advantages and disadvantages with respect to marketing reach and potential, author’s personal time and money, author’s creative control, royalties and success rate, workplace politics and business models, and standards and quality of work. As the self-publishing industry improves, it becomes more and more competitive with the traditional publishing industry. What can the traditional publishing industry do? By learning and taking an example from the successes of the self-publishing industry, the traditional publishing industry can learn how to maintain its competitiveness in the book publishing industry. Burch 3 Introduction For at least a century, traditional publishing has worked one way: authors wrote their book, sent it to a literary agent, and then hoped that the agent could find a publishing house to accept it.

  • What Is Self‐Publishing? a Presentation for the Inkwell, a Gathering of Writers from Pennwriters.Org
    What is Self‐Publishing? A presentation for The Inkwell, a gathering of writers from Pennwriters.org. Introduction I’m a writer of fantasy and science fiction stories. I wrote and published my first novel in 2012, and I currently have 9 novels in 3 series, short stories, and book bundles – 23 titles now, with 3 more novels expected for 2018. I have always been a self‐publisher – what is known as an “independent author” (indie) – and wouldn’t dream of mortgaging my ordinary rights to an agent or traditional publisher. I publish in ebook, print, and audiobook, and I’ve just commissioned my first translation. My books are published worldwide through dozens of retailers and a handful of distributors. You can find my books online anywhere. I’m just an ordinary author with an ordinary following in my genre, making ordinary proceeds – not any sort of superstar or major bestseller. I started this business while I was employed full‐time, and now I’m retired and able to devote more time to it. Books as manufactured goods You can take 200 of your family’s recipes, do them up in a word processor, and take the file to your local book‐printer and have them run up 100 bound copies for you to sell or give away to friends and family. Church groups do something like this all the time, to raise money. Corporations publish their annual reports in glossy hardbound editions for handouts at meetings. Your collection of recipes ‐‐ that’s a book. But it’s not part of the book trade.

  • Re-Writing Publishing: Fanfiction and Self-Publication in Urban Fantasy
    RE-WRITING PUBLISHING: FANFICTION AND SELF-PUBLICATION IN URBAN FANTASY JESSICA L BAY BA Film & Video Studies, University of Regina, 2006 MA Popular Culture, Brock University, 2011 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Of the University of Lethbridge In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS English University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA ©Jessica L Bay, 2014 RE-WRITING PUBLISHING: FANFICTION AND SELF-PUBLICATION IN URBAN FANTASY JESSICA BAY Date of Defence: 27 July 2014 Kiki Benzon Associate Professor PhD Supervisor Elizabeth Galway Associate Professor PhD Thesis Examination Committee Member Daniel P. O’Donnell Professor PhD Thesis Examination Committee Member Aaron Taylor Associate Professor PhD Thesis Examination Committee Member Goldie Morgentaler Professor PhD Chair, Thesis Examination Committee ii Abstract Fanfiction is the practice of fans writing stories using the world and/or characters of an established work of fiction in order to rework this material. This thesis examines the relationship between fanfiction and digital self-publication within the popular fiction genre of urban fantasy. Emerging technologies in digital publishing have created a new world for authors and readers alike. Online publishing companies make it possible for any author to self-publish an ebook and distribute it through a global platform without an agent. The practice of writing fanfiction connected with urban fantasy has combined with the relative ease of digital self-publication to create an environment within which many new authors can explore non-traditional forms of publication. While all genres have access to this possibility, I suggest that urban fantasy is one of the few that is poised to revolutionise the publication industry due to its historical connection with digital fanfiction.
