The Brown Bookshelf is designed to push awareness of the myriad of African American voices writing for young readers. Our flagship initiative, 28 Days Later, is a month-long showcase of the best in picture books, middle grade and young adult novels written by African American authors.

The Brown Bookshelf Summer Chat Series

Be sure to join the Brown Bookshelf MySpace Forum and take part in our Summer Chat Series. So far we have the following confirmed guests:

June 18: Temperature Check - State of the Kiddie Lit industry.
Need we say more? Chat with agent, Jen Carlson of Dunow, Carlson, Lerner from 10:00AM - 11:00AM EST.

July 23: Indies & The Author
It's competitive out there. Even the big chains are having trouble. So how can authors and independent bookstores keep one another afloat? Come talk to reps from the indies that do it well. Confirmed so far, Jenn Laughren of Book Inc's, Not Your Mother's Book Club. Chat from 9:00PM - 10:00PM EST.

August 6: Hype, Hype Hooray
Sure, authors, agents, publishers and librarians think we know what teen readers want…but do we really? Hear it right from the mouth of young readers. Chat from 9:00PM - 10:00PM EST.

Hope to see you there!
