Superchamp Books

J’ai pris cette photo juste à côté du Parc Monceau. (C’est pour un nouveau livre.) Elle est inspirante car elle me rappelle que l’on doit garder notre soif de lire, d’appendre, tout au long de notre vie.

I remember watching this show when I was younger and thinking, “Man, thirty-something is old.” 🌚

1/ @amiralisaid and I have an announcement about one of @SuperchampBooks’ forthcoming titles. Black Demographic: Essays In Black Life

1/ When you’re younger, you don’t know better. When you’re older, you know better (presumably). And it follows that you give less fucks and are therefore more free. But the jig is...the older most people get, the more conservative — less free — they become.

There’s an assumption that being the *first to do something is the same as being the *best to do it. Don’t conflate these two things. Acknowledging the *first is cool. Trailblazers merit respect. And while the first to do something is sometimes the best, often they’re not.

“If I was being typecast...” —Michael K. Williams

Tomorrow, @SuperchampBooks will publish Dating & Sex: The Theory of Mutual Self-Destruction. One of our most ambitious titles yet. @amiralisaid and I would like to thank all of the writers who contributed to Vol. 1 of this incredible anthology. amazon.com/Dating-Sex-Theory…

When a writer sends me their piece with a detailed description in the email and a Word doc, upfront without me having to ask, oh, it’s on! Me when writers send me there pieces as Word docs (vs. writers who send me their pieces as Google docs)

Here’s a good example of what I mean. It’s an excerpt of an interview from my book The Truth About New York. Kelly reveals *why she and her husband started going to sex clubs. (For others, fixed date nights at restaurants are just important too)

After reading more than 200 pieces and pitches, I can say, with the utmost certainty, people really like having sex with their *friends. 🌚 I can also add that women are really (really) good at sticking to the rules of this type of engagement. Until they’re not🥴

Submissions are open for @SuperchampBooks’s book antholgoy Dating & Sex: The Theory of Mutual Self-Destruction. All information, including what we’re looking for and rates, can be found on this submissions page. Or email me at: [email protected] superchampbooks.com/submissi…

Since Fleetwood Mac is back in recent news, I’d like to mention that one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs is “Everywhere.” I can’t call exactly why, but the songs written by Christine McVie always hit different.

At the BeatTips Hip Hop Archive, we just published Jesse Bernard’s (@MarvinsCorridor) interview with @REALDJPREMIER One of The Best Yet: The State of the Gang Starr Legacy Remains Strong beattips.com/2020/10/19/one-…

I started teaching my son @amiralisaid how to edit when he was 10 years old. At 13, it got intense. At 17, he earned his official editing credit when he edited the 6th Edition of The BeatTips Manual. Today, he’s the managing editor of five of @SuperchampBooks’ publications.
