You finished the manuscript. You celebrated. You told people. And then you stepped into a world nobody fully prepared you for.
Wait One Minute is for the author who showed up with hope, poured everything into the work, and is now sitting in the silence of what comes after. The silence of slow sales. The silence of a dashboard that hasn’t moved. The silence of wondering whether any of it was worth it.
It is also for the writer who has not yet published but wants to walk into this journey with both eyes open, so that what costs other authors years and thousands of dollars does not cost you the same.
Dr. Keyimani Alford has written and published multiple books. He has run ads, hired designers, sent signed copies to national media figures, lost money on strategies that sounded promising, and gained something more valuable than a bestseller ranking: the kind of hard-earned clarity that only comes from doing this work yourself and refusing to quit when it got heavy.
In this book, he lays it all out honestly. Not to discourage you. Not to shrink your vision. But because the truth about authorship is the thing that makes it possible to build something real.
