Founders Launch Newest Black-Owned Book Publishing Company, Aim to Help 1,000 Aspiring Authors This Year

Veteran entrepreneurs and authors Dante Lee and Kellie B. Brooks have teamed up to launch BlackAuthors.com, which aims to help more than 1,000 aspiring African American authors start and finish their books by the end of 2025. Their full-service publishing company offers writing, ghostwriting, editing, book cover design, printing, and even marketing services.

In recent years, there’s been a notable increase in the number of African American authors contributing to the literary world. As of 2022, approximately 13.49% of children’s and young adult books were penned by Black authors, marking a significant rise from 9.04% in 2021. This upward trend reflects a broader movement where Black writers are increasingly sharing their narratives, experiences, and imaginations across various genres.

Many African American authors are driven by a desire to tell authentic stories that resonate with their communities and challenge prevailing stereotypes. However, traditional publishing avenues have often marginalized these voices, labeling their works as too “niche” or not aligning with mainstream expectations. This systemic bias has led many Black writers to seek alternative platforms that value and uplift their unique perspectives.

Choosing a Black-owned publishing company offers African American authors a space where their stories are not only accepted but celebrated. Such publishers understand the cultural nuances and significance behind these narratives, ensuring that the author’s voice remains authentic and unaltered. Moreover, supporting Black-owned publishers contributes to a more inclusive literary ecosystem, where diversity isn’t just acknowledged but is a foundational principle.

How to get started:

Aspiring authors who are ready to get their book published should visit the website at BlackAuthors.com and sign up for a 1-on-1 consultation.
