I am a middle school English teacher in my 10th year of teaching and this was the first book that I have ever read in school (as a teacher and student) that gave a full view of slavery and its impact on the world. I know your story was about sugar’s impact, but it was about so much more than that. I truly appreciate your time and research that you put into this book. This will be my fourth teaching Sugar Changed The World and I would love it if you all could do a Google Hangout with our eighth grade classes. We always show the event that you all did with the Brooklyn students and I would love for our students in Monroe, Louisiana (a.k.a Lousy Ana) to have that same experience. With the use of Google Hangout there is no travel expense just your time. I really hope to hear from you guys.
Hey my name is Jaxson. I go to central lyon middle school in Iowa. I have just read your book called Ask Me No Questions. It was a really good book. Once I started getting into it I couldn’t stop.
That is wonderful to hear Jaxson!
Hi Marina Budhos
My name is Samuel Damilare. I’m a literary assistant at P English Literature (PEL). It’s a pleasure connecting with you, and I would like to introduce you to our literary organization.
Established in 2020, P English Literature is an art and literary organization officially registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission – RC 7923553. It was founded by Peter Okonkwo, whose literature works, was in November of 2024, endorsed under Global Talent by Arts Council England as “Exceptionally Promising” in the field of literature. Since our inception, we have interviewed over 700 authors from different parts of the world, including prominent and emerging ones, covering all genres of literature, and have featured in total of over 1000 literature works.
We’ve been recognized as the first-ever international BookTube show in Africa that features authors from around the world. We have been a voice to authors seeking exposure for their works, and we promote literature through our extensive literary activities including organizing book festivals, book club meetings, author interviews, book reviews, literary competitions, feast of books and cultures events, opinion commentaries, writer’s conferences, open mics and a host of other literary activities. You can check samples of our interview with the renowned 13 million plus bestselling author of the holocaust survival story, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, by Heather Morris, and many more samples on our channel’s page.
I’m writing to you because we are currently looking for authors to get featured in the May/June’s Edition of Author Interview on our show. I’m curious to know if you would love to come on our show in an interview to talk about your book(s). If you are interested, you can respond to this message, and Kenny Elisha, the Head of Literary Assistant, will send you a detailed author interview invitation and a form to schedule an interview. You’ll get interviewed by our founder and host, Peter Okonkwo, or the co-host, Cyndi Brec, or both of them. While our primary interview is conducted via Zoom, you may, however, want to schedule a physical interview with Peter if you are located in the UK, or with Cyndi, if you are in the United States.
I would like you to look our show up on YouTube by searching “P. English Literature” and let me know what you think of it. Plus, if you have any questions. Also, the recently launched audio versions of our show are now widely distributed on Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Samsung Podcasts, Apple Music, RSS, and a host of other famous sites for extensive engagements. Because the interviews on PEL are promotional interviews, we recently waived our appearance fees and encouraged our featured guests to consider donating to support our literature course.
___________
DISCLAIMER: Kindly DECLINE if this invitation is not for you. We ask for donations because of some productional cost associated with hosting our interviews, as well as SEO optimization associated with pushing the interview to other readers’ channels after publication. Also, as a literary organization, we are responsible for funding some literary events and activities. Neither Peter Okonkwo nor Cyndi Brec is aware of my invitation message to you. This conversation will be moved to Kenny Elisha when you express interest in appearing on our show, and after submitting your author information, it will be passed on to our “literature vetter” for a second vetting stage before a date is finally scheduled. Please reply “Cancelation” if you have received this invitation more than twice. Reply “Already Featured” if you’ve appeared on our show in the past. Your response will help us edit our database. We would also appreciate it if you would be kind enough to subscribe to our channel.
Thank you,
Samuel Damilare
Literary Assistant XII, PEL
