Introducing the 40 Day Writer Reality TV Show On today’s episode of The Segilola Salami Show, guests Brandy Miller, Tara Woods Turner and the ‘And I thought’ ladies Wilnona and Jade Dee talk about an upcoming reality TV show for writers the 40 Day Writer Reality TV. Imagine it: 40 writers compete over 40 days to finish, polish, & pitch their manuscripts to big 5 publishers who compete, Shark Tank style, for the rights to publish them. That’s the premise of 40 Day Writer Reality TV.     About Brandy Miller Brandy M. Miller helps aspiring authors and entrepreneurs get their books out of their heads and onto the page so they can make money, make a difference, and achieve their dreams. She has published six books and has a dozen more in various stages of production. Her first published book, How to Write an eBook in 40 Days (or less), was published in December of 2012. Two additional books, Creating a Character Backstory and The Write Time: How to find all the time you need to write a book, were published in 2013. Since then, she has written The Poverty Diaries: Excerpts from the diaries of someone who’s been there, The Secret of the Lantern: A chose-your-path adventure for Catholic kids, and 7 Steps to Change Your Life & the World. Her latest book, The Quest for Confidence, is soon to be released.   She has been helping authors get their books finished and published since January of 2013. The idea for 40 Day Writer first came in December of 2015, but that early attempt failed. After revising her plan and reviewing where she went wrong, she was able to implement a more complete and functional plan. She has worked hard to gather a team together to support her in her mission to help give writers and readers a reality TV show they can relate to and be proud of watching. She plans to begin filming in July of 2017 with the first season to be launched in the Spring of 2018.   Here’s the podcast on YouTube About The Segilola Salami Show The Segilola Salami show is hosted by Segilola Salami who is also an author and a self publishing strategist.
