White Readers, Meet Black Authors: How Women Writers of Color are Read, Received and Reviewed

A discussion with She Writes Founder Kamy Wicoff and Carleen Brice, who created the tongue-in-cheek video "White Readers, Meet Black Authors." Carleen Brice is author of the novels Orange Mint and Honey (which was optioned by the Lifetime Movie Network)- a #1 Denver Post best-seller and Essence Magazine Recommended Read - and Children of the Waters, which One World/Ballantine released in June 2009. She also wrote Lead Me Home: An African American’s Guide Through the Grief Journey (HarperCollins), and edited the anthology Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number: Black Women Explore Midlife (Beacon Press, Souvenir Press). Her book Walk Tall: Affirmations for People of Color sold over 100,000 copies and was in print with traditional publishers for 10 years. It is now available from iUniverse.
