What you are about to read is my 1st homework assignment for Gotham Writers' Workshop. I created this narrative based on my African-American cultural experience. My perception of Mr. Sanders may well be different from others due to my prior knowledge of the man. The Bernie that you will read about comes solely from my limited research and overactive imagination of what he might be like in the mornings. The homework assignment was to pick one person from a list of people that intrigued me. I was tasked with writing a scene showing this person getting up in the morning and getting ready to go out. I had to imagine my person getting out of bed, asking myself whe…

Worst of all Imani’s mommy has an invisible friend named Jerry, who thinks Imani is a bad little girl. This educational picture book will help facilitate a conversa…

Hello, My name is Yalonda Neff and I am a collector of African-American books with the lion's share of my collection being African American Studies. I have also started a Facebook group called "African-American Book Collecting". The group is public so you can easily find it by putting in the title. The group comprises other collectors of Black books, ephemera, and other print materials. I have created this topic to connect with other collectors of Black books or print materials.

This literary fiction is written in the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance. History of Creation: The Announcement is African/Black literature, which flows out of African/Black culture and world view. Marcus Garvey would have approved of this piece of literature and you will enjoy this hypnotic profound story. Don’t miss the opportunity to read a great African/Black story. History of Creation: The Announcement jkm Mbdw ISBN: 978-0-9731038-3-0 Publication date: December 9, 2025 Hello AALBC, Please consider for a book review.

So how is that book coming? will you be posting parts of it here as you write so we sharks may rip it to pieces and you can scream and get drunk and curl up in a fetal position, mumbling to yourself until the men in the white coats come and drag you away to a padded cell? Or will you make us wait? You ever read "The Old Man and the Sea"?

Last night as I watched the movie about Thurgood Marshall, I wanted to share a lil' something about one of his greatest feats which was Brown, but do you know what really went down? Well, here's the real deal. Can you say conspiracy! The conspiracy began with Felix Frankfurter, a Supreme Court Justice, who had been a director of the NAACP for 18 years. First off, Frankfurter should not have been allowed to hear the case brought on by the NAACP due to a conflict of interest. Additionally, Frankfurter was in direct contact with Thurgood Marshall even though such contact was illegal. Despite this, the preliminary vote in the case was 6-3 against Brown. With so much at…

On the Children's Bestsellers List for February 22, 2015 All are on the Middle Grade, Children's Best Sellers List #3 Jacqueline Woodson (her book, brown girl dreaming won award that could be won, including a National Book Award) #4 Kwame Alexander (The Crossover) #6 Sharon M. Draper (Out of my Mind) Y'all know me; this is not to imply that we need the NY Times to validate our work. But the reality is that rest of the world and many of us do want this credential, so I do congratulate the all of the authors. Practically speaking making this list puts often puts one into a category that allows them to make enough money to live off their writing. …

“In 1997, I self-published my first novel, Temptation. I sold 9,000 copies in 6 months, was picked up by a major publisher (Time Warner), and received my first NAACP Image Award nomination.

I shared the following quote on Facebook and Twitter just now; “While media attention has waned in recent years, the demand for, and publication of, Urban Fiction has not.” As we all know, you should not take anything you read on social media at face value. Most of what we read there is designed to drive engagement and sell advertising. Out right lies, hyperbole, and controversy are tools of the trade. In this case, I was exaggerating. While it is true that the media has moved on from Urban Fiction, years ago, the resulting lack of attention and other factors have indeed driven down demand for these titles. Books by authors like Terr…

It is interesting how many people have no idea that scores of passages from Alex Haley's book of was lifed from The African, by Harold Courlander, The except below is directly from the 30th anniversary of Roots. This Dick Gregory says Alex did not write The Autobiograhy of Malcolm X. What is so astonishing to me is how few people know this or why it even matters.

The $1 per day is excellent, but bang for buck, the large book cover is even better. Here’s why: The book cover image is very large. I have not seen another website that displays book cover images so big—no one, who visits AALBC.com, can miss seeing these large book covers. The images appears on virtually every single AALBC.com webpage. Which means the book covers will be seen far more frequently that the $1 per day advertisements, which only appear on a few pages. Click through ratios of 1% or more are typical. 1% is a very high click through ratio, and means 1 out of every 100 visitors who sees the large book cover will click it. …

I recently blogged about the fact that most authors who post links to Amazon do not take advantage of Amazon's affiliate program. http://aalbc.it/oWrxtM Someone tried to explain to me why authors do not take advantage of it, by saying they just don't care and are not interested. This seems so illogical because Amazons commisions can be 7, 8% or more depending upon sales -- often exceeding even the author's share of a book's sale. But based upon the acitivity on my latest Blog post on the subject, there seemed to be little interest in the whole issue. Of course the more sophistciated authors are aware of the commisisons that can be earned. Some authors who li…

Hello Everyone, I am a senior at Amherst College and I am writing a senior thesis on black women who read romance novels. I need about 10 female participants, all of whom are college educated (have attained or are pursuing Bachelors degrees), and who would describe themselves as romance novel readers. I will conduct interviews with interested participants over skype ( preferably) or the phone (if no other option is available). All the information I collect will be completely confidential, and I would be happy to share my findings with you guys after I complete the thesis. It is time to allow black women to state their own reasons for reading the kind of literature …

Good Old Fashioned Comming Sense; Books by J. California Cooper. Cooper is one of my favorite writers. I have not read everything she has written, but what I have read I've thoroughly enjoyed. For you discussion forum regulars think Cynique, but with more of a Christian sensibility. Now you don't have to be a hardcore Southern Baptist to enjoy Cooper's work, but if you are culturally African-American her work will definitely resonate, and if you are not, you learn something about our culture.

Hello AALBC community, I got so tired of everyone praising these homewreckers.

My first Amazon review was amazing and unexpected: "S.R. Chase delivered! An excellent writer who produced a main character that I think so many can relate to. Private Betrayal is an entertaining interpretation and perspective to marriage, cheating, mistresses/sidechicks etc. I know several characters in the book in real life. Private betrayal did not disappoint. I read through it so fast because I was immersed i…

Carole Boston Weatherford has teamed up with many brilliant illustrators including, Frank Morrison, Eric Velasquez, Ekua Holmes, R. Gregory Christie, Floyd Cooper, and more, to create some terrific books for children. Often you don't see these books -- even the in major bookstores, which historically made these books effectively nonexistent were it not for the web. Some of these titles win children's book awards and gain some level of success and prominence, but still readers seem to be under the impress that there aren't very many Black book being produced. The issue s really one of awareness rather than supply. #readingblack

Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali is a nonfiction book. Part memoir. Part social commentary. It's steeped in the observations of alkaline herbal medicine specialist Dr. Sebi, legally named Alfredo D. Bowman. He coined dembali to address why we reject the good in matters of health, race, family, and culture. Dembali is the lens he used to observe these challenges. It is the same lens he viewed solutions. From rage to solemnity in a Honduran setting reminiscent of a fireside chat with the author--that's Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali. You can view the book's cover in this blog. https://www.sojourntohonduras.com/single-post/2020/06/17/past-present-coming-soon
