Black Authors on the Rise Trailer
Conscious Dreams Publishing has published over 60 authors of African and Caribbean descent at a time where mainstream publishers are crying out for Black writers. These authors have always been here! Come and celebrate with them hear about their book journeys and achievements as they rise to success.
According to the CLPE, a mere 7% of characters in children’s fiction feature black or briown characters. Even more shocking, only 5% (previously 1%) of main characters in children’s fiction are black or brown. This is a travesty, especially in light of the fact 39% of children in the UK are from these backgrounds.
Countless conferences state that there is a lack of Black authors, yet at Conscious Dreams Publishing, we have published over 60 authors of African and Caribbean descent over the last four years! We have published a wide range of self-development, sci-fi, adult and children’s fiction, health and wellness and educational books for adults and children.
Authors shared their stories, messages, book, book journeys and successes as well as run workshops on the day.
Check out this short clip sharing my thoughts around why representation matters and how we can make a change. For short clips and full interview visit video below.
