coloredgirls.com is dedicated to a female audience of color passionate
about books and writing. Inspired by the dearth of attention paid to
female African American writers, save a handful of literary giants and
hordes of post Terry McMillian popular fiction writers,
coloredgirls.com seeks to challenge the recent publishing industry
"discovery" that Black women read and then take that "discovery" to the
next level.

We want your words --- but not just any old any thing. coloredgirls.com is committed to quality, cutting edge, well-written work. We admire wit, depth and timeliness. In short be on point.

We publish original work only.
