Fiction by Black Writers, Who Are the Readers
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Zadie Smith, Colson Whitehead, Yaa Gyasi… some of today’s biggest names in fiction are black writers, and yet a predominantly white publishing industry maintains the assumption that black literature lacks marketability. Writer and distinguished academic Dr. Elizabeth Nunez leads a panel discussion challenging this assumption, with Essence Magazine book editor Patrik Henry Bass, Vice President, Publisher, and Editor-in-Chief of Random House’s One World Chris Jackson, President of the Authors’ Guild Roxana Robinson, and editorial director at Akashic Books Ibrahim Ahmad.
