I read the synopsis of Ms Butler's book, and was  thoroughly impressed; how I ended up with an inclination towards the dystopian genre is beyond me. Regardless, in an attempt to begin migrating from the "big" book seller, I was wondering if you had a few suggestions as to where fans of e-book publications may be able to direct their purchases to support Black owned publishers/distros? After reading hardcovers, we typically share the books in little free libraries thoughout the area, which is well intentioned, yet doesn't align with our goals for Mother  

 

Many thanks!

Butler's novel, which I first read last year, has found a new audience given it's dystopian future of America.

 

I'm not aware of a Black-owned ebook publisher, same goes for audiobooks.  I'm not saying there are not any -- I'm just not aware of them.  If you learn of any please share.

 

If there is a Black-owned platform that sells a large list of titles, can be easily integrated with AALBC, used DRM, and available on a wide variety of platforms I would adopt it tomorrow. 

 

For ebook sales I use Hummingbird: hummingbirddm.com/ for audiobooks I use Libro.fm.

 

You can see examples of how I refer sales of ebook and audiobooks on the page I have for Parable of the Sower. Of course I sell the physical books directly.

During the pandemic, I began writing about everything in my environment, as well as the things that we don't see. The initial goal of E.A./2020 was an engaging period piece, yet it metamorphosed into dystopia. Butler's synopsis definitely caught my eye...

 

Thank you for the guidance, per use.
