After 22 years in Corporate
America—working in every field from education, insurance and real estate, to
construction, sales and public relations—Queashar knew it was time for a shift.
Blazing the trail for many, she founded Queashar Detroit Publishing in 2017,
where she doesn’t just seek to build a database of clientele. Educating them
about the publishing process, marketing, building an author platform and more,
she takes the time to go above and beyond the services other small publishers
offer. Whereas many publishers focus on the end product, Queashar is committed
to client education and great customer service—what many would consider to be a
lost art. And her feature in a segment called “Sidewalk Talk” on The Splash,
Greater West Bloomfield's News Magazine show, was just the beginning of many
open doors.
Her love for authorpreneurs and
entrepreneurs alike led the way for her to be a featured guest on numerous
podcasts, including The Authors Podcast with Coach Robyn Robbins, the She Leads
Podcast with Nicole Walker, and the Godlywood Girl TV YouTube Show with
Stephanie Rodnez, CEO of Godlywood Girl. In addition to serving as a faithful
member of the Nonfiction Authors Association, Queashar is also a member of the
Advance Magazine Contributor Network, where her content will be featured throughout 2019 and beyond.
When she’s not birthing bestselling
authors, she’s working to pen her next literary masterpiece. Currently working
on two books simultaneously centered around success, Queashar is also working
on an eBook and workbook centered around procrastination. In the future, she
will host podcasts that will highlight tips on self-publishing, marketing and
more for authors. Her versatility and broad range of knowledge from working in
various industries sets her above competitors, causing many of her clients to
become repeat customers.

Why did you choose to write your book?
As career women, we are encouraged to follow our dreams and live
our best life. Sometimes self-sabotaging behaviors like procrastination, living
in the past and a negative mindset causes us to delay achieving optimal success
in our careers and personal lives. I wanted to share my experiences and life
lessons to help professional women to acknowledge, identify and overcome
self-sabotaging behaviors so that they can live a more purposeful and
fulfilling life.

What would you like readers
to take away from your book?

empowered to jumpstart a strategic plan of action so they can start taking
steps to fully activate their success potential.
What advice would you offer to someone whose
book is about to be released?
Be very clear when it comes to marketing your book to your
target audience. The real work begins once you publish your book. Don’t get
discouraged if you aren't racking up sells immediately. Keep on
promoting and get help if necessary.
What three literary events would you recommend
a writer in your genre attend?
I would recommend that writers attend The Red
Ink Conference hosted by Tenita C. Johnson (theredinkconference.com), Rochester
Writing Conference at Oakland University (rochesterwriters.com) and The
Produce, Publish and Promote Summit by LaShaunda Hoffman (pppsummit.net).
What literary event can we find you this year?

hosted by Non-Fiction Authors Association (nonfictionwritersconference.com).
Who was the first author you ever met?
My maternal grandfather was the first author that I met The Late Elder Timothy L. Barge Sr of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
What’s the most interesting change in your
life as a result of being a published author?
Since becoming a published author, I’ve become more fulfilled in
my life. Writing a book was a life-long goal that I finally accomplished.
Becoming a published author gives you instant credibility as an expert. People
look up to you as an action-taker and it feels great.
What has surprised you most about being a
published author?
I never knew that it would be such a challenge to market my
book. After more research, taking a class and creating a new plan, I am now
ready to strategically market my book.
What about writing do you wish non-writers
would understand?
At times, writing can be very technical and strategic. Using the
right terminology is key, it allows authors to explain complex issues more
effectively.
Can you give us one do and one don't for those
aspiring to be an author?
DO Network with new and seasoned authors. It’s so important to
build a support system of people who understand exactly what you are going
through in your writing journey.
Don’t procrastinate! Finish your book. Don’t overthink the
process. Your book is the gateway to future endeavors. Writing a book can lead
to creating multiple streams of income.
What advice would you offer for someone who is
having a hard time finishing the book?
Create an effective writing schedule and a book completion
timeline. Set a specific time to write daily and set an alarm in your phone as
a reminder. Show up for yourself just like you show up for your 9-5 job.
Consistency is the key to success.
When you're not writing, what do you like to
do in your spare time?
When I’m not writing, I love to spend time with family and
friends. I love to travel, listen to live music, go to plays, museums, and
spend time volunteering in my community.
Oprah always asks, what do you know for sure?
I know that I was meant to write a book. I finally feel like I
am headed in the right direction and I can’t wait to see what’s on the other
side of my newly found writing career.
