Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Elizabeth Roberts.

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my own publishing house in the spring of 2019. Although I grew up being the child of the famous author Zane, I never imagined I would end up in the Book Industry. In 2016, I graduated from the University of Maryland College Park with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. After working various Law jobs in the Washington D.C. area, I decided the law field wasn’t for me and moved to Atlanta, Ga, where I pursued entrepreneurship…and that is how Arait Justice Media Group LLC was born. Arait Justice Media Group is a Literary Media and Production Company. Not only do I publish books, but I make them come to life on the TV screen. Since my startup in 2019, my business has been extremely successful. So far in its lifetime, I have had one of my books featured on “The Real”, I have worked with numerous of celebrities in the Book and film industry and I have done 7 Book trailers and 1 short film. My book trailers/short films are now available on Roku. I have had the pleasure of writing a two-hour feature film which will be coming to theaters soon and I have now helped over 45 authors get published with their books being distributed via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart & More! Some of my popular titles are Pure Thoughts 1 & 2 by Myself and my co-author Shaina Little, Not Mine to Keep by Shawn-Taye, Consensual Deviance by Jabal Black, Sidechickology by Zane, and The Devil’s Stones by Alexxis Jaye and J. Alexander, but that is just to name a few. In addition, I publish all genres including Contemporary Romance, erotica, mystery, poetry books, children’s books & more. Furthermore, I do visual book trailers and short films to go along with the books so that the books stand out against the rest. I have won awards for my films and I have a web series called “Pure Thoughts” on Youtube that is based on my own book. In my opinion, We are visual beings and when people have the written and visual aspects of a book, it makes the overall experience so much better.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Some of the struggles/obstacles that I have dealt with is the lack of support. They always say that a stranger will support you more than a friend. While I do have friends who support me, I get a ton of support from strangers. I handle this by believing in myself and knowing who I am. I know that I will sell millions of books one day And my films will be in theaters. Believing in yourself is always the key to success.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
By being a book publisher, I help many author’s dreams come true. A lot of people have stories to tell but just don’t know how to translate it to paper, that is why I created Arait Justice Media Group LLC. At Arait Justice Media Group, I help people all over the world achieve their dreams of becoming an author by getting their stories out there especially if it can save the life of a reader. I want people to remember that I aimed to help change the narrative of the literacy arena. The services I offer include; editing, ghost writing, cover design, interior layout, platform uploading (Apple books, Barnes & Noble, Etc), short films, book trailers, series, and writing bootcamps. Brand wise, I am most proud of my book “Rules of Girl Code” that teaches young girls how to treat each other. I have been invited to speak at many seminars and events for young girls and I want to continue to teach them how to love themselves and each other.

How do you define success?
I define success by being able to create a goal and achieve it. No matter what you do in life or what aspect in life you expand in if you achieve a goal you have set and didn’t give up even when it got hard, you are successful.
