We had the good fortune of connecting with Crystal Daye and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Crystal, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?

You might have heard quotes such as “reading maketh the man” or “today reader, tomorrow leader”

These powerful quotes stress the importance of reading. I’ll add another quote, “reading the right BOOK can transform your life”.

This is why my business is important.

DayeLight Publishers is dedicated to helping aspiring impact-driven authors to Write & Publish books that transform people’s lives.

As a professional publishing and marketing agency, we understand the importance of preserving godly and impactful literary work that readers love and offer practical and powerful insights and lessons. Books are needed to educate, empower and entertain current and future generations. This impacts communities and by extension the world through WORDS

Our motto is ‘Books leave a legacy beyond you!’ .

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

In January 2017, I walked away from my comfortable government job to pursue my passion and calling by faith to become a coach, author and speaker.

As the CEO of DayeLight Publishers, I’ve been able to build a successful publishing and marketing agency dedicated to helping new and aspiring authors to write, publish, market and monetize the books God has placed on their hearts.

In the last 5 years, we’ve helped over 500 authors birth their books.

As a hybrid publishing company, we don’t take royalties from our clients. We offer one-stop services to help new and aspiring authors to sell more books to impact more lives.

Building a business and growing my personal brand as an author has not been easy. I’ve struggled with feelings of inadequacy which cause me to doubt my abilities which led to me undercharging and trying to overcompensate to “prove” my worth. I’ve significantly grown in my confidence because I’ve invested in my knowledge along with seeing the amazing results my clients get when they work with me. They don’t just write a book but they build speaking platforms, become sought-after coaches, have been featured in top media platforms and launch their businesses.

I’m very passionate about building a successful business without compromising my Christian faith and this is one way I stand out in my authenticity. It’s never about discriminating against anyone who doesn’t believe in what I believe, it’s about being the light and being true to what I value and knowing that the right clients will be drawn to me and believe in the solution and transformation I’m able to provide for them.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Atlanta is one of my favorite places. I love the entrepreneurial possibilities and the many events hosted there that help me to grow spiritually, personally and professionally.

I would take my best friend to the Barnes & Nobles bookstore in Peachtree to chill, read and have coffee at Starbucks. We’ll definitely visit the Atlanta Zoo and the CNN studio tour for amazing sightseeing. For food, Chic Fil’A, Craft Crab and the all-you-can-eat buffet. Finally, she wouldn’t leave without going bowling to close her week there.  I think it would be a super nice trip.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I’ll start by shouting out GOD – who I am and all I’ve accomplished has been because of His faithfulness and destined purpose for my life.

Next, I’m so grateful for my parents, siblings and friends who truly believe in me and my dreams and always support me so I have to shout them out!!

I’ve been impacted by many kingdom leaders (too many to count); but I’m sure I’m here as a success story because I’ve always had a tribe of people who believe in me.
