5 Ways To Support Black Authors
Let’s talk about some incredible Black authors and how you can help lift Black voices in fiction. I’ve created a list of links to get us all started, but please share more! You are welcome to share your own books in the comments if you are a Black author in our community. Also, if you’ve read a book by a Black author that you loved, share it with us here!

About Me: My name is Sarra Cannon, and I’ve been indie publishing since 2010. In that time, I have published 26 books and sold well over half a million copies.
