Philly
Weeden
Philly takes pride in supporting fellow black
authors. Support and networking among
black authors is vitally important due to his
personal experience of being ignored when
becoming a writer. Many well-known
published authors and writers refused to
share their blueprint of success with him.
Love and relationships
Philly will do anything to help and support
others desiring success. While Philly just
received a copy of Zane’s new book,
Renegade, he also takes a personal route of
supporting one of his favorite local authors,
Mr. Tito Bradley, We Got Issues (A
Conversation about Black Love and
Relationships, Volume 1) and Reciprocation.
He sees the drive and passion in this new
author’s transition and admires his work.
Mr. Philly Weeden’s focus is love and
relationships. He believes in building and
mending the heart. Originally, did not want to
write a book. He posted quotes and statuses
on social media where his fans and followers
encouraged him to write. Philly believes, it’s
not about the content of the book before
purchasing it. But once it’s marketed, the
content is key. Marketing plays a major role
in your book’s success.
When writing a book, Philly has a process
of staying around inspiring things which
helps in staying focused and motivated. He
said, “The main thing is to know what you
are working on and build from there. When
capturing the audience’s attention, you are
able to keep their attention. It’s easy to call
someone to come and talk to you, but when
that person shows up and is standing in
front of you, you have to give them
something for their time and attention.”
