Advertising Price List Updated July 21, 2026
Newsletters are rich email messages sent to our mailing list of over 18,742 subscribers. Open rates are greater than 35%. You pick the mailing date (based upon availability). This is not a typical “eBlast” service; our emails are limited in number and curated to include only information we believe our readers will find valuable. Our mailing list is one of the most targeted available to reach readers who enjoy Black literature.
Our newsletter service also includes a free Author Profile, a $199 value.
If you have any additional questions email us for more information. More Advertising Options on AALBC ▶
