With a vision and a finished manuscript, Christian planned to shop her first book with traditional publishers. After an endless search to find a publishing house that catered to her genre and style of writing, Christian realized there were none. With the help of her online community of writers, she founded Dynamic Image with a mission to create a space for writers like herself.Dynamic Image's mission is to be a motivating publishing house that centers Black storytelling, showcasing triumph and redemption as key themes in our literature. We are committed to uplifting authentic Black voices and experiences, ultimately influencing the lives of our readers in a positive and transformative way. Through stories rooted in love, faith, resilience, and personal growth, we aim to entertain, inspire, and empower our readers to better themselves and their communities.Dynamic Image Publications is committed to creating literature that creates positive change in the culture through stories of love, triumph, and redemption." } ] } ] ```
