Color Online is doing more than complaining. We're calling on all readers to write Bloomsbury and voice your objection: Deb.Shapiro@bloomsburyusa.com
We are calling on readers to demonstrate all readers will read a book with poc characters. Join us for our August Color Me Brown Challenge

If you don't know, there aren't many teens of color blogging. Please show your support for these young women. We are very busy on the blog and the girls and I are looking ahead at building our website and e-zine. We have reach young women where they are so we continue to reach out.
Our blog stats have tripled. Readership and participation is high. Come by. See why the blog format is working. Please be patient with us as we look to find balance and revitalize our discussion forum as well.
