Detroit media company empowers writers

Master Mind Media Detroit is now offering a new publishing imprint to help clients create their own books

A local communication hub highlighting original black content is expanding to offer book publishing and virtual learning services.

Master Mind Media Detroit is a communications hub that houses podcasts, a YouTube channel, social media profiles, a newsletter, and a print journalism program targeting audiences interested in hearing voices from the African-American community.

To meet rising demand for support from a range of clients, the company is now rolling out new book publishing, graphic design, and media services as well as virtual learning experiences.

Through the Master Mind Media Detroit publishing imprint, the company will author and co-author books in addition to creating content such as articles, videos, and film.

“Books were the next logical step with our first publication being scheduled for release in July of this year,” said Master Mind Media Detroit founder and executive director Robert D. Tompkins. “Our objective is to first teach the importance of having and sharing your voice, regardless of socioeconomic status, because it’s valid. It’s important for people to have access to the tools to express themselves. We’re focused on media with the master in mind.”

Mr. Robert, as he is affectionately known, served as the co-director of educational technology services for Marygrove College and is a sought-after expert on current trends in hands-on learning and training in addition to his work designing websites, blogs, and social media standards for his clients. He is a recent graduate from the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law, where he earned a master’s in legal studies and a graduate certificate in entertainment law. As such, he is drawing from his vast industry and legal knowledge to expand the scope of media services he is offering clients.

Among the publishing imprint’s initial releases will be a political training guide co-authored by Diane McMillan, LMSW. The book is slated for release this fall.
