Interesting: many of these authors go on to start their own bookstores, publishing companies. Only for urban fiction because of repeat customers? Marketing & distribution techniques.

Saturday, July 21, 2007 Harlem, NY
http://www.qbr.com/page8946.asp
Over the past five years, book coverage at dozens of newspapers has been cut back or slashed altogether, puffed up with wire copy, or generally treated as expendable. How does this impact the marketing of books targeted to the African American reader, which already suffers from paltry recognition in the mass media? Authors can purchase a review in some black book review publications. Is this an unethical abuse of reader trust or simply a necessary business tool for ad-starved publications?PMA University Panel: Success Strategies for the African American Book Market - Instructor
