ringShout
a place for black literature
Founded in 2007 by a group of writers, editors, and booksellers, ringShout is dedicated to recognizing, reclaiming and celebrating excellence in contemporary literary fiction and nonfiction by black writers in the United States.
"I hope to see the day when there are more of us at the party (and the parties), when the work of African-Americans who tell our part of the American story well receives the celebration, and the sales, it deserves."
- Martha Southgate, "Writers Like Me," New York Times Book Review, July 1, 2007
