Public Notes

  • DeBerryandGrant

    DeBerryandGrant says

    In a moment of pique and frustration Virginia wrote an open letter to Oprah, and shared it with a few writer friends who are going through the same thing we are. Now the letter has started to go viral--getting a lot of repostings and inclusions in blogs, newsletters and on Facebook, so in case you hadn't seen it, we wanted to share our plight, the plight of many black authors with you, readers who have supported us all these years. http://twomindsfull.blogspot.com.

    In reality Oprah is just a metaphor--a name that might get this subject the attention it deserves. Because when you have a publication like Library Journal listing their 31 Best Books of 2009 http://ow.ly/HDU7 and the "genre" fiction list includes Street Lit --8 books but no category for contemporary African American writers, we are really in trouble.

    Amazon.com.

    Love Trumps Game by d.y. phillips

    I too am good no complaints other then not enough time in a day lol. I too am ready for the elections. We so need a change. "Gutter" was excellent I read "Gangsta" right before it as I have never read it before and enjoyed them both lol. I am a huge Kwan fan. I also am not a fan of short stories. Are you enjoying it at least? I am currently reading a MB submission "Opposites do attract" by Sheman Smith

    Have a great week
