Speaker & Author<br />

And to answer your question, yes we plan<br />

to publish more books in the domain of<br />

startups. I already started working on<br />

a new book called: Startups Express.<br />

The book will give the readers 365 quick<br />

bites on startups to inspire them to<br />

accomplish more with their businesses.<br />

Describe your experience to us being the<br />

Editor-in-Chief?<br />

It is always an honor and privilege<br />

overseeing collaborative books projects.<br />

It is a joy to bring different minds<br />

together in one book. I learn a lot from<br />

each contributing author. My ultimate<br />

reward is seeing the sense of pride and<br />

accomplishment of the contributing<br />

authors when the books are published.<br />

Recently, I announced the “1000<br />

Authors Mission.” I want to graduate<br />

1000 authors. It is a humongous task.<br />

This means I should publish 28 more<br />

collaborative books with an average of<br />

36 contributing authors. To facilitate<br />

this, I created an exclusive LinkedIn<br />

Group for past and current authors<br />

where I will share insights on the art<br />

of writing, editing and publishing. The<br />

Group will serve as a great professional<br />

networking platform too.<br />

Do you think this book will sell well on<br />

the Amazon.com?<br />

We plan to make this a Bestselling<br />

Book on Amazon. To accomplish that,<br />

we will create a solid marketing plan<br />

to ensure this dream becomes a reality.<br />

We will put Bahrain on the World Map<br />

with this achievement. This is where the<br />

power of numbers comes in handy. With<br />

42 authors promoting the book on their<br />

social media network and engaging in<br />

direct email campaigns, we will make it a<br />

Bestseller Inshallah!<br />

What is next for Mohamed Isa?<br />

I am working on a very ambitious<br />

and audacious online portal for startups.<br />

I already chose the name of it, booked<br />

its website domains and social media<br />

accounts. I am in the process of creating<br />

its logo and branding. It will be the place<br />

to be for startups. It will add significant<br />

value to startups in Bahrain and beyond!<br />
