Authors Launch Brown Bookshelf
Five authors have banded together to create The Brown Bookshelf, an online community dedicated to promoting children’s fiction by African-American authors and illustrators. The group, which launched November 1, is the brainchild of authors Paula Chase Hyman (the Del Rio Bay Clique series, Kensington) and Varian Johnson (Red Polka Dot in a World Full of Plaid, Genesis Press), who “met” via online author message boards.
I am hoping to form this sort of alliance - so that local writers and illustrators can support each other by imparting knowledge and skills, sharing resources and as a group, help to promote the culture of reading and buying books by local writers and illustrators.
