BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE D empstu Simmons, Jr also known as D.J. I founded my business is Dojangles Publishing in 2006 after I self-published my first book of poetry and developed a passion and drive for helping others to produce their writings as well and evolve from writers to authors. Between the years 2006 to 2009 I published the works of three writers including four books of poetry and short stories. I also collaborated with several others in the publication of their books as well. After 2009 the business was dormant for a while where I switched my focus into more live performances and event planning, which took up most of my time. This year however, 2014, Dojangles Publishing has been reestablished to offer services to all those in Barbados, the region and where else the network spreads. At Dojangles we publish full length novels and novellas, as well as anthologies of poetry, short stories and music. We also format the layout for magazines (physical and digital) and eBooks. We have also recently added poster, flyer and menu design to or list of services as well. Guidelines on how to produce and promote your Book Launch are also included in the publishing package. OCT 2014 respect your business. Also sometimes when clients recognize you are a local small business, payment can be tardy at times. All of the books published by Dojangles Publishing have been featured at various Crop Over and NIFCA book fairs in Barbados and some of them purchased for overseas libraries and universities ranging as far as Belgium. Plans are in place to make sure Dojangles Publishing is constantly in the public’s eye via social media and mass marketing. Also the content being produced by year end will increase presence among local and regional clientele. Hardware will also be procured to extend the services offered to include multiple forms of printing as well.Address: Apartment #2 , Golden Castle Apartments, Rendezvous, Christ Church.
