ripples publishing, working areas
area 1
Presenting voices from around the world
Publisher for authors from around the globe
Authors gain access to readers from around the globe, and readers gain access to authors from around the globe.
Authors tell their stories and write their future.
Make it happen stories will get preference.
books by Charlie Alice Raya for area 1: dot.story, breastless, towns & cities, Charlie Alice cooks
This area will be covered by pepper books.
area 2
Open stories & collaborations
The following stories have a lot of unwritten stories: easy town story, views from around the universe and the end of all wars.
The easy town story is the most developed of the three but since it is a perfect playground to test ideas and since, it would be possible if other authors picked one of the untold stories or found an untold story and added their explorations to the easy town story.
Some of the main conditions are:
- The original story can’t be contradicted
- Additional stories don’t jump ahead in time
- Scenes which involve main characters of the original story are either written with Charlie Alice Raya or approved by them
- The aim of exploration is to find solutions not to add to the gloom and doom, which isn’t to say that an exploration can’t lead into hell so long as it also proposes a way out of it
- Preferably authors live in the country they pick as their main location, because one aim of opening the story is to give the opportunity of using the story to people from all over the world
Views from around the universe and The end of all wars offer three options.
- Co-author for one or more of the proposed storylines
- Author for one of the proposed storylines
- Author of an original storyline which can be added to either collection
The main condition here is to make change happen in stories.
Books by Charlie Alice Raya for this area: the easy town books, the planets for views & for the end of all wars, plus a number of movie ideas (see visionary-meddlers.com). Breastless could become a work for several authors, too.
This area will be covered by ripples publishing.
Additional collaborations
Collaborations with illustrators and graphic novelists, with programmers for simulations and app ideas introduced in the easy town books, architects for buildings created for the easy town books, with fashion designers for outfits inspired by the stories.
These kinds of collaborations will probably each get their own team.
area 3
Comics, caricatures, illustrations, design
Comics and graphic novels from around the world for the world
plus story-complementing comics, maps, caricatures and illustrations, such as the town map, charts or a collection of Troy’s caricatures and his comics for the campaigns in book 4/1, easy town books
Illustrations & designs for all books and websites
area 4
Audiobooks
This includes to give regional actors the opportunity to create regional audiobook versions.
area 5
sign language recordings & promotional videos
I’m particularly interested in sign language storytelling which would be recorded on video.
I’d like both publishers to benefit from a great variety of contributors from the start.
area 6
Braille artists & readers
I’ll be very happy to see the first Braille books by blind writers be part of both ripples and peppers because it will be one of the indications that these publishers value and empower every voice that can make a contribution.
