About Us

"EAT MY LYRICS" BEGAN AS A STAMP TO SOLIDIFY MY POETRY WHEN I SHARED IT VIA SOCIAL MEDIA; I WANTED MY READERS TO DEVOUR WHAT I HAD TO SAY. AS TIME MOVED FORWARD, I WAS ENCOURAGED TO CREATE MY FIRST BOOK OF POETRY, THE NAKED TRUTH. IN TAKING MY STEPS AS A NOVICE IN THE WRITING & PUBLISHING INDUSTRY, I RAN INTO MANY HEADACHES WITH TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING, AS WELL AS SELF-PUBLISHING. I LACKED THE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES TO EXCEL, BUT IT WAS IN THAT MOMENT OF DESPERATION THAT I DECIDED TO BEGIN A PUBLISHING COMPANY OF MY OWN.  ​

​

I REGISTERED EAT MY LYRICS AS MY FIRST BUSINESS IN DECEMBER OF 2012, I FILED FOR A DBA; I LET LIFE HANDLE ME BUT I UTILIZED ITS ABUSE TO CATAPULT ME INTO HELPING OTHERS. MY FIRST BOOK SOLD OUT AT A LOCAL WALMART IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS. EACH EVENT I ATTENDED, I SOLD OUT; ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PLACE MY BOOK IN THEIR HANDS, AND IT WAS THEIRS. MY WORDS WERE THEIRS. EACH EDIBLE CONCEPT, THEIRS. I KNEW THAT MY MAGIC WAS MEANT FOR SOMETHING. 

​

INITIALLY, MY COMPANY'S PURPOSE WAS TO SIMPLY PUBLISH MY OWN BOOKS, SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE STRESS OF BATTLING FOR MY RIGHTS, ROYALTIES, AND PAYMENTS AS AN AUTHOR; HOWEVER- AFTER MANY SESSIONS OF HELPING FRIENDS AND FANS WITH THEIR DESIRES TO WRITE AND PUBLISH, I DECIDED TO ALTER MY COMPANY'S DIRECTION TO AID OTHERS IN ELEVATING THEIR VOICES.
